1956 HS Frame Number

[Greg.Pawson]

Hi my HS is currently in transit , and I need to confirm the frame number and only going off the pics forwarded to me.
I want to quote the correct frame number so I don't create any confusion with customs.
I have emailed Bob Prosser for conformation and a dating Cert from the dispatch records , which is great and I can wait for.
But I'm running out of time with my shipping agent.
I have the title for the bike but the penmanship is not that clear, come to think of it I will attach it to this post, it will be safe on here.

Looking at the Frame number on the title ( PRS 157 ) or is it PRS 159....?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Regards Greg

It's PRS 157 and MH 167 wich is correct for 1956.

It should have a reversed oilsystem (toolbox-oiltank-airfilter) and maybe a "over the footrest" brakepaddle.

All parts in the pictures are good.

And if the Harold Lines (over the footrest) brakepedal is missing......I have one.

Once I get the bike and parts home, ill research into it, the seller said he had added a book or diary
in with the parts.
I got to see a close up of one trophy, 1st place Indiana state Championship 1957
I have the riders racing leathers and helmet also.
