There are a lot of resources on line to identify the year by frame number so I'd try a search of them.
I did the same for my Raleigh RSW16 and easily found it was 1969.
Rod brakes don't necessary mean old - but in this case I think it is early 60's at latest and maybe 10-15 years earlier. This is a guess though. The white painted rear mudguard lower edge makes me think of WWII. Never seen a lamp bracket on the top stem before. Bolt / riveted, rather than welded, rear fork stays also distinctive.

Have a look on the rear wheel hanger or under the crank for frame number

Looks like Y195823 to me, don't know if that makes any difference.

yes dude i agree, think it was a type-o. for some reason there is no continuity to BSA serial numbering. So i think it is a Streamlight. 1930 to 1950. i'm happy with it and need to wheels and smile it about
