Guys,
I purchased the bike from it's second owner, Douglas Brooks from New York.
He bought it from the original owners family in Canada. Toronto I think.
I asked Jan Heine about the serial number years ago. He approximated the age (circa 1974) and stated it was likely one of a multi frame order from Bloor Cycles.

Quite correct, from Olivier:
Good evening Marc,

This frame was made with a series of 7 others identical to the
Canada. That’s why they’re numbered that way.
So there are only frames on the invoice and there is no sheet
specific control.

That’s all I can say.
