I'm not familiar with Carlton serial numbers, so I'm hoping someone else will comment on that.
No oil port on the BB shell. And no serial visible on the fork. The only thing I can see on the fork is in the attached picture. Is that an 8 or perhaps a cursive P??? I have no clue.

Also it could be a repaint/re-enamel job as there is a "glob" I discovered on the fork while looking for a serial #. But as I said before no experience with finishes on that level.
