Could this be a Holdsworth Cyclone?

Retro Newbie
I run a youth cycling program and sometimes people will donate the darnedest things. This bike came to me with a story of a man who was serving in WW2, bought the bike and brought it back to the states, road across the country a handful of times and then just set it aside. Since then, someone has made it rideable, but I'd like to know more about it so that I can sell it and add some money to add to the scholarship fund.

I would appreciate any information.

I am afraid it is just a cheap frame with some generic transfers. Definitely not Holdsworth or Holdsworthy.
Could be from the 50s to 70s.

Thanks, Keith. I had a feeling that that was the case, but then I noticed things like the lubrication port in the bottom bracket, and it was rather perplexing. The frame certainly appears cheap and unadorned. Have a great day!
