Designed for the war effort (WWI) The Model H was available from February 1915 and continued in production right through to 1924. 1919 was an interesting year for the Model H, for someone to purchase a post-war 1919 machine brand new must have meant that they had good reason to spend extra on a new ‘civilian’ machine rather than the glut of army surplus machines.
This 1919 example comes to auction from a deceased estate following many years of long term ownership. Pulled from a garage, the paint and stickers still present very well and mechanically it appears to be near completion, perhaps requiring a drive belt and the top-end finishing off. Little else is known about the history of this machine, so it presents as a near-complete project for someone else to work on and enjoy. With information kindly supplied by a marque specialist, we believe the engine number on the block is 64113, with the letters HTO suggesting a likely build date of July 1919, although the gearbox and gearchange lever do not appear to be the correct 1919 Sturmey Archer specification. The frame is also believed to be an early 1920's specification and the number could be read as ‘313438’, the first two digits being hard to read. Unfortunately, we don't expect there to be any paperwork present.
