Artifact Overview
In 1953, Henry Ford Museum staff members -- joined by an eager boy -- posed on the museum's "Oriten" bicycle. The unusual machine was built in 1896 by the Orient Bicycle Company of Waltham, Massachusetts. Described by Orient as a "decemtuple" bicycle, it toured the United States and Europe to promote the company's more conventional single- and double-seat bikes.
