Dunelt bycycle
Dunelt cycle Frame number N22/7360 (or could be N22/7380) has one any idea of its age. I has a three speed gears which is numbered AW55. The frame is blue and chain guard is cream. cable brakes. i would be grateful if anyone can date the bike and if so it's possible value.

Welcome to the forums.Assuming the hub is OEM, it sounds like you have a 1955 or possibly 1956 model. Value is highly dependent on cosmetic, mechanical and local market conditions, so it can vary significantly. You should post pictures and your location if you want an accurate appraisal.

I just finished a dunelt from 1965 with rod brakes. Almost 75% original parts.
Once I get the opportunity I will post some pictures.

3 factors on value:
1. Condition
2. Ladies style versus mens (level top tube). Men's style tend to enjoy double the value of the ladies style
3. Location: Major urban areas, NYC for example, can enjoy 3X values from smaller areas. There is very little to no market for 3 speeds where I live. Donated the last one I had, and it was a men's style, in fantastic shape, recently serviced and fresh tires.
I had a ladies Dunelt blue with creme chain guard and I was able to get $40 for it...... Took a while. Seems like I have to re-learn the 3 speed market over and over again. I am enticed by one in great shape at a great low price, and then I hope the market has changed. It hasn't. Having to give away the last one, hopefully that lesson will STICK!
