Time for an oddball.

For one point, please respond and identify this vehicle.

Well it looks like a snowplough, but I guess there is more to it than that?

It is not a snowplough, and I need a manufacturer.  ;D

From what little I have been able to find, I believe it is a street sweeper.
Probably German and if so, a Strassenputzer or a Strassenkohrer.

I really have no idea who made it, but the nose does remind one of a Phänomen.
Somewhere buried in my cellar I have a catalogue of German industrial machines and
maybe I can find some more names to research when I find it.

Yes, it is a street sweeper.

And just to avoid too many hours in the cellar: it is not German.

Thanks for the tip, the cellar is cold this time of year.

Based on the placement of the steering rod I suspect not British, so maybe French??

I hope you are correct, Facel...........

I have looked at more "street sweepers" in the last few days than I ever care to in my lifetime.

Municipal vehicles, as they are called in the US, are so varied and produced in both small and very large
amounts by companies that we normally never hear of that this could become a subject for a completely
separate Forum.

On the other hand, I found a few new photos for my military vehicle hobby interest, so all was not lost.

Again, hope your ID was correct, as I am not going to go further.

Yes, it is, from 1930. Well done, another point for you.
