Génial Lucifer - Bicycle license plate circa 1940 (means Great Lucifer)
Painted sheet metal circa 1940
Bicycle license plate "Génial Lucifer" (means Great Lucifer)
In painted sheet metal and curved to fit on a bicycle frame.
Dated from the 1940s, with very nice lettering.
The coat of arms features an imp, but it's not a lion - if you look closely, you'll notice that it has a forked tail!
A strange name for a bicycle brand, you might say. In fact, it's the result of the marriage of 2 brands in the 1920s: the Génial company, which made bicycle frames, and the Lucifer company, known particularly for its headlights, but also as a bicycle assembler. Lucifer meaning the bearer of light.
This marriage gave rise to the Génial Lucifer brand.
