1930's
When the Great Depression hit in 1929, Triumph spun off its German subsidiary as a separate, independently owned company, which became part of the Triumph-Adler Company. The Nuremberg firm continued to manufacture motorcycles under the Triumph brand until 1957. In 1932, Triumph sold off another part of the company, its bicycle manufacturing facility to Raleigh. By then, Triumph had been struggling financially, and Bettmann had been forced out of the chairman's spot. He retired completely in 1933

i wanna sell them, but from the looks of it they'd be more attractive to a triumph motorcycle fan than a bicycle collector...

From 1883 to 1901, that's all Triumph made. But, since that one has a Sturmey Archer hub, it was made after 1930. Looks like it was made after 1950.
