Frame serial number 16730 4 (Under the Bottom Bracket Shell)
bought on 23rd May 2011, the sixth hunting.
A special thing about this bicycle, that is its frame at the rear, its shape is different from others. It is forming like a spoon, before the frame attached to the rear wheel. A-spoon rear frame has caught my attention. So, i bought this bicycle without knowing which brand it has. The vendor, an old wise guy, informed me that the spoon shape is the typical of Juncker.
As my aunty, Ronalda Tomasowa, me and my husband wished to transport our other bicycles (TOP, Fongers, and Humber sportive) from the warehouse to my aunty's house, then we saw an old dames bicycle. We came to the shop and check for its serial number on the right side frame under the saddle. But, it wasn't there. Then the vendor lifted up the bicycle, and showed us the frame number under the bottom bracket shell.
The vendor told that no one has interest to buy it, since it is so big, and old. Once again, we taught that we should rescue this bicycle, since it is old. Although we don't know which brand it has. So, my aunty suggested me to buy this bicycle. She is sure that this bicycle was antique enough, even older than her age.

History of Juncker
Juncker was one of dutch bicycle factories, which was established in 1898 in Ruwielen, Appeldoorn. The Juncker were sold in Europe, USA, and Asia, including in Indonesia. In 1968 Juncker was taken over by Gazelle.
Any kind of bicycle produced before 1910 had the best quality for metal material. But near 1910, good quality of metals were used to produced machine for the WWI. Although today they are 100 years old, but if you see it, their figure will look strong and gracious.
