Joseph Lenaerts started at a bike factory. During his career he was introduced to the world of fairground attributes, creating bike models for carousels. This was in 1947. The Greek god Hermes was placed as a logo on top of these bikes. Thousands of bikes have been produces, with a highlight in the 1950s when 50 bikes per month were produces and delivered! Impressive for a small company with only four employees. They were already valuable pieces then, but have became truly rare finds over the years and an absolute must-have for fairground enthusiasts!
