A Brief History of the Marque
Peerless motorcycles made between 1902 & 1908 were identical with
Bradbury machines made in Oldham, Lancashire and were fitted with 2hp &
2 1/2hp Birch engines made under license,
with the crankcase cast around the frame tubes..
Peerless machines were produced by the International Mfg. Co. Ltd. in the years 1913-1914 using 292cc and 499cc Veloce engines.
There is also an American Peerless marque, and another built by Healings in Victoria, Australia.
