I have two with provenance:

I bought my '49 Raleigh Clubman from the son of the original owner, who was a pharmacist in Milwaukee. Actually, that first gent wasn't quite the original owner as the bike was given to him in 1950 to settle a debt.

I bought my '50 Raleigh Clubman from the original owner, who worked at Raleigh USA in Boston during the summers when he was a college student and bought this bike to commute from a suburb into downtown Boston. It even came with a small bottle of touch-up paint, which isn't all dried up.
