I know that few were made in England and that England Made has value but like you, I do not know the $ amount.
thanks man! still dont know much about them. but I'm working on it!
hi...I just found a Royce Union/Made in England bike in my in-law's CT garage. We are cleaning it out to sell the homestead. The bike is a woman's bike which looks like the one you picture w/o the rear carry rack. Did not take a good look at it, but did see a New Hampshire Bike registration sticker on the back fender from 1965, so the bike is older than that year date. My sister-in-law spent a year or so working in NH at that time and evidently used it in her leisure time. Do you know anyone who is a good appraiser of these Royce Union bikes?
Check this out.

I'm going nuts trying to find a 1963 Royce Union. Had a blue frame/cream fenders bought new in SF and miss it. How do I get in touch with this guy? Wayne, thanks for posting your 1963 with such good photos. They have helped me to eliminate alot of the 1964's and up.........I miss my bike.
