1910 Fongers Lady

This is an picture of a 1910 Fongers Lady's model, not a restorated bicycle, but an old picture of a new bicycle.

Visible is also a part of the rare Fongers braking systeme, in the black cilindrical part under the brakingblocks are little springs to pull back the blocks from the rim after braking.

Here you can also see the first type of the Fongers "Gezondheidszadel", this is the type with a saddle-frame made of only one layer and small springs, lateron they were made with two layers and larger springs.

 

All parts not painted black are nickle coated.

 

Picture came out of a recently discovered crate from the old Fongers-factory filled with glass negatives.

What you see is also a picture made from the 1910 glas-negative.
