I have quite a few Carlton catalogues from the 50s and may be able to identify the model from photos. Incidentally the fancy lugged Carlton belonging to Nelson Milleer is a Carlton International. The earliest catalogue I have found it in is 1953 and it is still listed in 1965. I have just built up for my son a 19in International which looks really stunning with chromed lugs etc. Send me some photos and I'll see what I can find.
