A few more observations...
The wheel diameter, including tires, seems too small for the fenders (mudguards). Could be this bike originally had 28" wheels. If so, the hubs will provide no reliable information.
The gallows style seat post is consistent with a date from the 1930s or earlier.
The Ashtabula style crank, something we don't usually see on European bikes, is interesting. It does not suggest a high end bike.
