Identify these bikes! / Re: What bike? Pic dated 1938

Thanks.
Indeed...the advert cites the fact the the purchase of a bike in the under 100cc class requires no driving permit, and avoids the usual taxes.
A text I found on another site states that the James company continued selling their own bikes branded as Bakers, even after the acquisition. Same thing happens still in my software M&A world...

I do have the goggles that my grandfather wore in this pic, so it is a nice memento of those years.

Mystery solved (sleep is overrated)
It is a British Bike called Baker (The James Cycle Co.), later built on license and called Podkowa 98 in Poland. This appears to be the original Baker, with a 98cc or 125cc Villiers engine.

Greetings,

I live in San Francisco and ride a 2008 Ducati Hypermotard S. This pic is of my grandfather, dated 1938, and I am wandering what bike it is. The tank logo seems to say "Baker", but it could be a BSA, NSU, or who knows.  The backdrop is Poland.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance
