Hey Russ, I bought a 1938 Claud Butler Super Velo from my local charity shop
a few weeks ago and it came with a front brake and lever marked Assmann. I
had to rub away the rust and then rub my eyes to believe what I was reading.
I would guess that the brake was an original fitment. If so it is pre war. I
wonder if the company survived the war? Anybody have any more info?
