As far as I know they started as a blacksmith. They added building (horsedrawn) coaches to their portfolio as well as constructing agricultural machinery. How many cars they clothed I don't know. The only other picture I could find displaying some of their coachbuilding work was a fire engine:

Finally we have a winner!

It was bodied by the Wagen- und Karosseriefabrik Johann Zeller from St. Pölten. One more point for you.

Sometimes the answer lies in a library. This ad was featured in a St Pöltner magazine. Can you please PM me the source of your puzzle pic?

Wendax · « **Reply #46 on:** October 17, 2012, 05:23:10 AM »

It was a period photograph for sale on ebay some months ago. No more information, sorry.
