Description

Bicycle license plate "Génial Lucifer" (means Great Lucifer)

There used to be red enamel paint on the curved brass plate that fits onto a bicycle frame.

(The paint has almost completely disappeared.)

Dates from the 1930s with beautiful typography. 

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.

Dimensions: 7x3.5cm
