Brief History of the Marque: Anker
Originally a bicycle manufacturer, from 1949-1958 the factory in Bielefeld,
Germany, built motorcycles with Sachs and ILO engines
98-250cc. In 1952 the Paderborner Maschinenbau AG in Paderborn took over
the Anker factory. Subsequently the motorcycles were built in Paderborn
and only moped production was continued in Bielefeld for a couple of years.
Later they built office machines with the ANKER brand, and finally closed
the doors in 1976.

.....................
Alas images at home...posted at behest of friend I am visiting
in Miami due to my not being Internet savy myself and he volunteered to
seek information on-line (usually fruitless when done in the past by others
trying to help gather more information) about my Anchor. Basically
I consider myself only a discoverer and temporary curator of an engineering
marvel which, due to its amazing working condition and beauty as a sculptural
object, ought to be in a museum. Disposition of same is in an exploratory
stage forme but sale to an institution or curatorial collection would prompt
me to sell, yes.
I discovered the machine many years ago in a farm shed in my homeland,
Germany. Cleaning and removing dirt and lubricating it. Then after
two days trying to start it...it did so on first attempt. I have
kept it these many years, bringing it to the U.S. and now it is stored
in the dry air of Arizona.

I have a friend that has a vintage Anker motorcycle for sale. I can
get the specifics but I do not have them handy. The bike runs. It is all
original except the handlebars and foot pegs. He even has a copy of the
manual and the poster size advertisement. How common are these bikes? Are
there many in the states? -- Kalpin -- jekalpin

I am writing to tell you that my grandfather had a Anker cc98.
That was from before 1940, probably from around 1936. Could this be?
If you have a picture of a Anker from this epoch I would be very glad
if you could send it to me.
