anello

[sander]

weet iemand waar het merk anello vandaan komt? lijkt mij een fabrikant van fietsonderdelen.

Hello Sander,
Hope you don't me writing in English.

I have an Anello bell. Came with my 1963 Gazelle, which I bought just weeks ago. I don't know if the bell is the bike's original, and as a matter of fact I find that hard to believe.

Anyway, I recently removed the bell from the Gazelle.
I am looking at it right now as I am answering you...

On the top of the bell (the part we all see) it says anello in hand-writing style.
Notice, there is not a capital (A), just the word (anello).
On the back, or fixing part, it clearly says MADE IN GERMANY.
It also has a very small circle symbol with the word REICH (capital letters) in it.

Before I bought my Gazelle I had never seen anything from Anello, and the word suggested something from Italy to me. Anello means Ring in italian I believe.
Hope this helps you in your research. I can post a picture of the bell if you wish.

Regards

anello is inderdaad een fabrikant van fietsonderdelen: behalve bellen, die een periode erg veel verkocht werden leverde anello onder meer zadels en ook een koppelsysteem voor fietskarren, voor zover ik weet is dat dezelfde producent. Land van herkomst lijkt Italië (anello = ring) maar het kan ook elders vandaan komen.

Anello is het merk waaronder de grossiers van Ring 65 hun gezamenlijke producten aanboden en wel in de 70 tiger jaren.

Niet alleen in de zeventiger jaren maar nog ruwweg 15 jaar langer.

Het is door mij in omloop gebracht toen de Stichting Ring 65 wat merken nodig had ter vervanging van de merken Peerless en Cortina.

This is correct and REICH was or is a manufacturer in Mellrichstadt(Germany)

As a matter of fact some bells(about 2000) were produced by Widek(Holland) but they were not authorized to do so and the bells disappeared somewhere maybe Gazelle.
