General Information
I can't be entirely sure this is hub is actually a Sturmey Archer (how I've described it in the title) one- IMO though, it would seem probable going from the fact that I acquired the hub together with a SA three speed rear, as well as the info that it's stamped as being English made, that it's of an all steel construction and its style is in keeping with many 50's hubs, which, when considered collectively, point to the hub being a typical British hub from the 50's, when SA happened to be one of the biggest hub manufacturers around producing chiefly the more common hubs like my example looks to be, as per its casualness in not even bothering to include their brand name on the hub.

Brand Information(click to expand)
 Best known for the internal geared (planetary gearing) hub, Sturmey Archer is another one of the most recognized brands in cycling.  The company has been bought and sold several times since it's origins, and at some time was owned by the same parent company as both Brooks and Raleigh.  The company is still in business (well, the name is still in use anyways), and there are still internal geared hubs produced today with the Sturmey Archer name.
