Thanks for the input gbi, what you're saying goes along with what the owner of the above pictured "arctic" said on the website:
"We did a little research on the Arctic by Stella and found that they were made for Actic Cat in the late 60-70's by Stella, a French bicycle company. The venture into bicycles was not successful for Actic Cat, so they sold them off at a great price. They were comparable to a Peugot UO8, BUT there were a few out there that had some built at a much higher level of quality."
