Opel 10/12 PS circa 1905?

[Wendax]

Opel is correct. I'll have to look up the model tonight. Meanwhile locked for you.

[Wendax]

The year is correct, but it is not a 10/12 PS. Still locked.

[4popoid]

Thanks for the lock Gerd.  I'm not finding a lot of on-line data for early Opels, and the only picture I can find, that looks like the puzzle photo, is that of the 10/12 PS, hence my submission.  The puzzle photo looks like a smaller car, such as the 2 cyl. 10/12, but the hood looks as if it could house a small four cylinder.  About the same time frame Opel made a small 4 cyl. with about the same displacement as as the 2 cyl., so I'll try a: 1905 Opel 10/14 PS.

[Wendax]

Not that one

[4popoid]

Since Opel apparently used both systems, are you looking for a single XX Hp number, or the XX/XX PS system that I have been submitting?

[Wendax]

xx/xx PS 

[4popoid]

OK, then I think I have two choices.  I'll try: 1905 Opel 20/22 PS.

[Wendax]

No
