Any ideas on what type of bike this is? It was found in the family photos.

Thanks

Chris

Hi chris,
I'm pretty sure this bike is an early 20's Ok Junior fitted with a Union two-stroke.
Humphrey & Dawes made these before they split up, each to go their own way. Ernie Humphries went on to form OK-Supreme.
I'd also swear the photo is Australian and was taken in a typical Australian backyard of the time. It looks just like my nanna's did when I was an exceedingly small boy. She was pretty old by then and I don't think anything in the house and backyard had changed since she'd moved in.
Cheers, Bob
