Not sure (the Dancing Chain probably has it), although I should know it...

But isn't 1952 too early for a Juy 543 by a few years?

If it was my bike, I'd consder using a Simplex Juy 51. A much less expensive unit, that in servicable condition comes in around $125 I'd think, just keep checking ebay.

Hello All,

I am trying to piece together a 1952 Carlton International. The only draw back is the components i believe are going to cost more than the frame did. Oh well, such is life. If any one could help me with clues which components it had originally I would be thankful. I know it had the Simplex Juy 543 rear derailleur that just sold 2 days ago on Ebay for $700 plus dollars. Take care and ride safe.
