Falke?

Give me a model name and the point is yours. Locked for you

I'll have to go through my books tonight when I'm home.

Strange, it doesn't comply with the information in my books. Falke started building automobiles in 1889 with the Voiturette Typ A which was a copy of the French Decauville and much more filigree than the puzzle car. The Typ A was succeeded in 1900 by the Voiturette Typ B, front-engined as the puzzle car, but still much lighter than the pictured car. The next model was the 6/8 PS in 1905, already following the standard layout, looking much more modern than the puzzle car. If there is no undocumented Falke in between, I just can guess that it is some sort of Typ B, built much sturdier to transport more than two people.

There's no type mentioned, just a horsepower. You have one more guess

The 4 HP engine of the Voiturette would have been too weak. Since I didn't find any valuable information I can just guess: 6 HP?

pnegyesi · January 16, 2012, 02:58:18 PM

No, not 6 HP

Wendax · January 16, 2012, 03:00:26 PM

8 HP?
