According to the hub, it's a 1959 model.

I've not seen any other Robin Hoods with the white contrasting head tube. It makes me wonder if somebody has modified this at some point.

I've ridden this bike on the 3 speed tour several times.

I've done very little to this bike, it's nearly stock and virtually identical to when I got it. The only nod to comfort/modernization is that I put my newer Brooks B66 on for the 3 Speed Tour and I added a bell. Because bells are fun. The previous owner added new tires, but other than these minor changes the bike is pretty much as it would have been 50 years ago. Now, as I imagine it would have been then, it's pretty fun to ride.
