Happy to search around and find out they were made pretty well!
That bicycle looks to be in excellent condition. A friend of mine had a Bridgestone with the quill-type seat-post binder bolt. He loved it and did a lot of of logging/mining road touring on it with 27" x 1&1/4" tires.
If you wanted to, you could get rid of those auxillary brake levers, modify the stubs and put the stem shifters where the auxillary levers were like this.
