Description
HUTCHINSON tyres - RED trousers
Rare domed enamelled copper plate circa 1911 depicting "Sam", a grinder, and his faithful dog "Floc" on a bicycle, drawn and signed by "MICH" Jean Marie Michel Liébaux.
Good condition, very good intense colours, very good brilliance, the reds are clear, the trousers are embossed which adds a qualitative impression. To note a lack in the upper part and 2 other minor in the right and lower margins.
18.5 x 13 cm.
Probably made by the enameller Capelasse Paris (not mentioned).
This type of plate had no holes for fixing, in fact they were masked to the glass.
Hutchinson was founded in 1853 in Châlette-sur-Loing (Loiret, Centre-Val de Loire), 100 km south of Paris, by Hiram Hutchinson. This American entrepreneur, a recent immigrant to France, filed the first French patent on the vulcanisation of rubber, the basis for our first product: A l'Aigle boots, to keep feet dry. In 1890, Hutchinson moved into the manufacture of bicycle tyres, and by 1905 had already turned its attention to the automotive sector. In 1910, Hutchinson entered the aeronautical industry.
