I found both of these, a '55 ladies Elswick and a '65 mens Hercules. I gave them what they needed. The Hercules only needed new tubes,tires and a saddle. The saddle that was on it had no springs, just metal plate underneath. I gave both bikes Serfas gel saddles. The Ladies bike needed a little bit more; tubes, tires, saddle, new brake pads, front bulb and new hand grips. I gave it a bell, as well. Everything regreased with new bearings. After I make some gear and brake adjustments, I'll get them posted on Craigslist. These will be fun riders at the beach.
