It has the correct lugs, fork crown, and rear centerpull cable-stop bridge to be an early-to-mid-60's Carlton Flyer. I've told the seller as much, but I think he's a Reg Harris fan and he seems reluctant to edit all the Reg Harris trivia out of his auction ...

P.S. In the U.K. the Carlton Flyer was their top-of-the-line full-custom 'anything goes' frameset, according to Jerry Mortimore of http://www.carltoncycles.me.uk.
