Info on this vintage Royce union women's 3 speed curve tail

[citoj30a4]

Ive been trying to find any information on this bike thru the Internet and pictures but can't seem to find anything. I've seen similar ones with a straight tail and not curved. Is this thing worth anything and is it rare at all? Bought at a flea market for 20 bucks

Royce Union were fairly common in the Netherlands. It's got a front brake so it was probably built for export.

3-speed bikes have a following in the US (Raleigh, Puch/Sears, etc) so somebody will want it. You should easily get $50 to $100.

Saddle doesn't go with the frame. Both saddle and headtube badge should have "Made in Japan".

Have you checked the rear hub for markings/numbers?

Ill have to clean it, it's pretty greasy. I'll post a picture this weekend with it cleaned up
