Matt is certainly right about Eisenmann. He had a store in Ridgewood, Queens and Imported Durkopp's and Siebers. He was also President of the GBSC - German Bicycle Sports Club -- for a time. He may have been investigated during the war for pro Nazi activities but that is not strictly proven. Edward Albert Chappaqua, NY, USA

Duncan,
Re: the Chater Lea cranks you have on auction I believe that the 'Eisenmann' stamp was the New York importer/shop of the same name... not a MFG of the ring for CL. I have seen that stamping on lots of BSA rings too.
Good luck on your auctions. I have 31 ending tonight-Garage Sale #2
