This one may turn out to be a tough one.
For one point, please respond and identify this car.
-
up
-
up again
-
Fulmina 45 PS from about 1913?
-
No
-
German marque?
-
Yes
-
Der Dessauer from about 1912?
-
No
-
Manufactured in territory later to become DDR?
-
I only have the address of the company, but the factory most probably was somewhere else. The address I have would never become part of the GDR.
-
Is the address you have located in that part of Berlin that was not a part of the DDR?
-
Yes :)
-
Perhaps an Oryx from Berlin-Reinickendorf?
-
No
-
Was this marque produced in 1918 or before?
-
Yes
-
Standard (Standard Automobil GmbH) from 1912?
-
No
-
Anker from Berlin-Tempelhof?
-
No
-
LUC (Loeb-Werke AG) from Berlin-Charlottenburg?
-
No
-
NAIG from Berlin-Charlottenburg?
-
No
-
Perhaps I have been thinking too obscure. How about: Protos from Nonnendamm (Charlottenburg?) Berlin?
-
Not Protos.
For this car you can't think too obscure, I guess.
-
I was afraid that you were going to say that. One more on the current list of possibilities: Brandt from (?) Berlin.
-
No
-
Back to the mine for more digging. Just to narrow the field a bit, is my current thinking of 1913 about right (if you know).
-
Almost correct
-
EBM of 1912 only?
-
Wrong car, wrong year
-
1914 Altona?
-
1914 is correct, Altona is not.
-
Might be totally wrong, but, perhaps, Beckmann?
-
1914 Loeb 10/30 PS by Loeb-Werke AG of Fritschestraße in Berlin-Charlottenburg? Yes, I know I have already inquired about the LUC, but at some point after 1914 the name of this model was changed from LUC to Loeb, so I've got to ask.
-
Twice no
-
I guess I'll have to try a little more geography. Is the address that you have located in what would later be the British sector of West Berlin?
-
Yes
-
Only because many of ny other possibilities seem to have been clustered there: Is your address located in the Charlottenburg district?
-
Yes, the building still exists:
-
I just found the picture/poster below. I have been unable to find anything else about this manufacturer, but, from what I see here, this might be our mystery car. So: 1914 Pallas- Vergaser?
-
Sorry, no. Vergaser is the German term for carburettor, so Pallas is not an automobile brand.
-
NAIG?
-
No
-
Standard Automobilfabrik GmbH?
-
No
-
RAW?
-
No
-
And not Reissig or Siegfried either, then?
-
Not them either
-
Was this maker featured in any book, that you know?
-
No
This one may turn out to be a tough one.
;)
-
Cool...we are not looking at a Coachbuilder, right?
-
It's a Schlager 13/38ps!
Called Teocar, by Theodore Tietz from Berlin.
Here you are another:
-
Your answer is right ... and wrong!
Schlager is the German word for hit. ;D
But this car didn't turn out to be one.
Teocar 13/38 PS is the correct answer.
I don't know, if it was just a badge engineering job, or where it was built.
A well deserved point for you.
-
I should learn German too ;D
-
It was a Partin-Palmer. ;)
-
Very interesting, thank you!
