A different name?  For the maker or the body style?

For both I'm afraid... Prove that you're right (maybe via PM) and the point is yours.

I have no hard proof.  I was just tying to get a clarification.  I'll keep looking.

As I'm definetly no expert on these jalopies I may need 3rd hand help if my source is wrong.

The 1919 Minerva images I have been able to find, have a different style of radiator shell.

I've got some expertise now which is relatively close to my info.

It's not a Minerva of any kind I'm afraid.

Could it be a Biddle circa 1915?

Not British. Not a Biddle or a Scripps Booth.
