Socovel Motorcycles, Original Poster, Belgium 1947
Socovel had a fascinating history, being innovative and cheeky by turn. Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motorcycles_and_scooters
This poster from the late 1940s is absolutley charming with super artwork, and that very familiar strapline - "Gives you Wings" now apearing on a drinks tin near you. The overall look has an Art Deco thing going on.
The Socovel poster is in super condition with very minor greasing at the top.
I have seen these sell at considerably more than I'm asking, so make your move !
The smaller picture is 10 years older, and is from the French Favor company that made everything from bicycles to motorcycles. Details are included here: https://www.drivepast.com/1398/racing-gallery-non-movie-items/favor-cycles-motorcycles-france-1937/
