Every single woman was wearing puffy sleeves! lol Three had no arm showing, but I bet they were wearing puffy sleeves, too! Even the little girl! Thanks for showing!

That was fun. It reminded me of looking at an early 1900’s Sears catalog. Good choice for music. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this interesting find. Great video. Time to hit some yard sales here in old New England !

agree with the other gentleman about the unusual bike. Steam bent wood was also used in the US. An example of that featured bike appears on Google search from a museum in the Czech republic

Another great "step back in time"...or should I say a " pedal stroke back in time"...

Great old ads. Thanks for posting. The odd bike at 2:30 seems to have a frame of bent wood (gebogene Holz). This must have been the period when bikes were marketed to the middle and upper classes, judging by the elaborate outfits and emphasis on Eleganz.

Those crazy Germans! Suprised they didn't have their beer mug holder handlebars! Fun historical perspective on bicycle marketing.

Sehr gut. Eine Gesundheite Farhad is a health bike.

All text is perfectly readable for German speaking people. I love the ad at 2:00 for cork-inserts in the Braun tires. Doesn’t sound particularly comfortable to me.

As you noted in another recent video, when Hitler came to power some 35-40 years later, he wanted to get rid of cyclists and put more automobiles on the road to promote an image of Germany as a successful, prosperous nation. In the movie, "The Reader," set in Germany after WWII, there is a scene in which the two main characters go on a cycling holiday. They are riding classic European roadster bikes, and it is so carefree, simple and enjoyable. I'd like to go on a European tour riding classic bikes.

The ad at 2:23 boasts that they sell to the Bavaria, Prussian and Bulgarian armies.
