Dear All!

I need help in finding the brand and date of my transport bike.
I purchased it in Belgium, Antwerpen region, from a guy who had no informations about the bike, except that it belonged to his father, who passed away. It came with a large modified (chopped down) front rack and an old Brooks B-66 saddle, that's leather is rotting, so no stamps can be read. The bike seems to be re-painted, hand striped. The rear hub is a FS Torpedo '40. Chain guard, that I removed temporarily is a Depsy wing-shaped one.
It also came with a nice Philips Philidyne 10 Volts generator and headlamp
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks for your replies, Gabor

It is Belgian, a standard workhorse. There were many Brands with this model.

Do you think the rear hub can tell the possible age of the bike?
