A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured by Johann Lehmkuhl Großhandel, Oldenburg
Often referred to as just "Nofa", numerous moped models were built in the 1950s and 60s.
In 1921 they were dealers for a number of motorcycle and bicycle brands including Bismarck, Cito and Opel.
The firm began building bicycles in 1922, and possibly built lightweight motorcycles in the late 1930s. The substantial Oldenburg factory was destroyed in a bombing raid during WWII.
