I don't know any more about the years of your bikes but I would say 50's/60's. The perry hub has 14/36 or 40 would be the spokes and size of the spokes. Here is a pic of the mens I have, match to your ladies 28".

Celtonia was a name given to a mainsteam Phillips line of products, likely after WWII. The hefty Celtonia hubs are typically well-roadster hubs made with hard steel.
I also like the Celtonia pedals rubber pedals.
