Génial Lucifer - Bicycle license plate circa 1930 (means Great Lucifer)
Blue painted enamel brass plate circa 1930
Bicycle license plate "Génial Lucifer" (means Great Lucifer)
Blue and white enamel paint on curved brass plate to fit on a bicycle frame.
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.
