Sorry for the blurry picture, but is the only one I know of this rare bird.

For one point, please respond and identify these cars. The marque is sufficient as I don't know more either.

Spot on!

Some sources doubt whether they were ever produced, but at least they did some advertisement:

Die Anker Automobilfabrik Paul Griebert & Co. in Berlin-Tempelhof stellte in den Jahren 1918 bis 1920 Autos unter dem Markennamen Anker her. Sie hatten einen Vierzylindermotor von 1145 ccm von Wanderer. Es gab auch eine Fahrrad- und Mopedfabrik Anker in Bielefeld, die mit der Automobilfabrik in Berlin nicht identisch war.

No, Anker is German for anchor. The owner's name was Paul Griebert.
