Geachte,
Mijn overgrootvader, Jos Takx, was fietsenfabrikant in Antwerpen
(Mechelseplein 18) rond de eeuwwisseling van 1900 denk ik. Hij kreeg ooit
drie gouden medailles voor zijn fietsen waarvan ik meen dat de merknaam
'Spiral Cycles' is maar daar ben ik niet zeker van. Ik zoek sporen hierover
en vooral zou ik heel graag een balhoofdplaatje ergens kunnen vinden en kopen
maar ook alle andere voorwerpen of documenten (zoals reclame) zijn welkom.
