A head badge from a Hercules Maestro, circa 1950.
These were made in England and marketed for the Quality and Strength.
In the States, lightweight was a feature and for girls too.
They were eventually bought by Raleigh and the line discontinued in 2003. Hercules live on in India as speciality bikes, including this loadster.
