Finding an old 'old' bike - where to start?

[GrumpyGregry]

Where do you start if you want to track down on old 'classic' bicycle? Specifically I'm looking for a pre-war Phillips machine and a post-war example of the same brand made in the Lion Works in Newtown Powys. It's a local/family history thing btw.
