OK, I am a newbie to stuff like this. Any idea? 26" or 24"? Make?

That's a Birmingham england made Hercules frame. They were sold by Montgomery Ward back in the late 50's up to 1960. After 1960 the Hercules brand was made by Raleigh and was still a good bike, but not their own company, and not as good in quality. The headbadge on yours may be Hercules or Hawthorne, Ward's brand name. I have the same frame, but it's got a repair in it. It is a 26" inch frame, mostly used for 3 speeds. That's what yours looks like. I found a thread here on a 59:

Thanks, great info. I wanted to get an idea of what it was before I listed it. I hate to offer something and not let the buyer know what it is.
