Humphrey Bicycle Factory

I bought some 60 year old ccm paint off ebay a couple years back and it was actual for Humphrey bicycles. So I'm looking at the cans label and notice it has the address on it. 51 Bulwer St in Toronto. Could this place still be there? Well I investigated. I found the building that used to make the bikes and I called the tenant to inquire. Sure enough, they were aware of the history of the building.  Sadly there is no evidence of any bikes being built there but at least the building is still in use.

Great video of vintage cycling in Toronto from the early 1900's. How many CCM's can you spot? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDS4qQ9wVyM
