Ah. He's going through Georgano from the back, and I'm starting at the front.

(It's amazing how many engines de Dion sold in that period. The cross-channel ferries must have been loaded with them).

Post by: pnegyesi on September 17, 2013, 12:29:34 PM
not any of the above. I don't think it's in Georgano, because this was not a car manufacturer, but advertised this car as its own (see one of Otto Puzzell's explanation in one of his later puzzles, which is similar in concept to this).
And there's a possible connection to Lacoste et Battmann

I think I revealed enough - so who'll be the first?
Title: Re: PN #536

Gamage?

Gamage!
Title: Re: PN #536
Post by: pnegyesi on September 17, 2013, 12:35:29 PM
And Allemano scores :)

Gamage was a department store which offered this voiturette in 1904-1905

And it IS mentioned in Georgano, complete with supposition that it was a Lacoste et Battmann re-badged.

Post by: Allan L on September 17, 2013, 12:56:26 PM
Ah, Gamages!
Oddly enough the one Gamage car of that period that survives is Aster-engined, not de Dion.
