Not exactly a streamline design.
For one point, please respond and identify this van.
up
One of William Towns' very early designs? ;) ;D
No ;)
... and it does not have a box-er engine! ;D
1923 Lieferwagen. Stafa, Switzerland.
I am nowhere close on this puzzle, but Stafa GMBH seems to have been an Austrian "Rundfunk" or radio company of some sort if that helps any members out.
Bill
That could be a hint for where to look.
Up again
electric?
No
was this an lkw from a well-known Austrian manufacturer?
Yes
Steyr?
No
Graef&Stift?
Yes, locked for you to find the model.
oh, I completely forgot this. Can you please give me another 24 hours? Thanks
Still locked
Unlocked and open for all again
There is virtually nothing out there on this vehicle but with my model railroad background I found a reference to.....
Gräf & Stift Universal......
It was a very poorly done N scale (1:87 scale) model that barely looked like the puzzle photo.
There is always hope.
Bill
That's what it is! Well done, another point for you.
BTW, isn't N scale 1:160? ;)
Brain Fart >:( >:(
I just spent three hours in my basement/cellar trying to clear out 50 years of collecting railroad stuff to put in my/now my son's HobbyTown USA store and 95% of it is HO scale (1:87) and I just automatically typed in that scale.
Thank you for the point and the advertisement. The only real photo I have seen.
Bill
Coming back to this very late. The Universal was FWD and was built under licence from the German Hansa company in cca 1930. Info and pictures are courtesy of the official archive
Thank you Pal.....
Quite a rare bird I suspect.
Bill
