Is this maker reported in any book?
I know you can't be sure about all the books, but is it listed in the major ones, like the Beaulieu, Georgano's, Schrader's Deutsche Autos, Kubisch's & co or any other source you may have beside the original source of your puzzle (assuming it was an online one...)?

I took the picture from a book, but not a major one, rather of the specialist type. I couldn't find anything online about this brand (except the content listing of this book). I'll have to look, if it this car is mentioned in any other books I know.

I don't know, if there ever was a brand name for this car. The company's name consisted of more than one word.

Title: Re: Wendax 1884
Post by: Wendax on October 12, 2016, 01:35:33 PM
"Fa." is just the abbreviation for Firma, the German word for company, so not really part of the brand. But my source doesn't mention it as a Fa. anyhow.

So the question "Who will name it first from the list?" is answered.  ;)
The drawing came from an ad by the Braunsdorfer Maschinenfabrik Chemnitz. It is not sure, how many or even if any cars were built. I'll add the full ad tonight.

This book has totally sold out. I was at the museum, and they don't have any more copies either. But I have part 2 of this book, which features - among others - some East German eigenbaus!
(And I was able to see a restored Mollmobil up-close! And I had a great discussion with the friendly curator of the museum, Dirk Schmerschneider
