Correction - this one is from the period between WWi and WWII

The builder started making wheeled vehicles in the 1800's, and was still making things with wheels after WWII. The puzzle car was a sideline to their primary business.

Studebaker?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** December 04, 2012, 06:23:53 AM »

No - this company was not a well-known builder of automobiles.

Not them

Oneida?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** December 08, 2012, 06:20:57 AM »

Not them.

Until I stumbled across this little car, I had never heard of this company. So, not was well-known (to me, anyway) as Wayne / Divco or Oneida.

There are multiple pictures of various tiny cars by this make that can be found online.
