Able to trace their roots back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries respectively, two of Birmingham’s most respected manufacturing concerns merged in 1889 to form the Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Co Ltd. A major supplier to the local railway, blacksmith and foundry industries, Alldays & Onions diversified into motorcars during 1898 and motorcycles five years later. The company’s first two-wheelers were marketed under the Alldays Matchless moniker until 1915 when the ‘other’ Matchless took exception. Unveiled in 1914 for the following moder year, the less contentiously named Alldays & Onions Allon was a well specified lightweight machine that sported a distinctive triangular tank. Powered by a 269cc two-strole sidevalve single-cylinder engine, it utilised belt-drive and could be specified with two gears.

On offer is an Alldays & Onions Allon machine that was restored some time ago by a previous keeper. It was purchased by the late owner to form part of his private collection of machines and this would fit into a lightweight Vintage section. Not used since ownership, it will need some light recommissioning before use.
