was it a well known brand?
No, it's not a name that non-automotive nerds would have ever heard. But it has a wikipedia page, so it's not super-obscure.
Oakland
No. This marque was not a part of GM.
Studebaker?
No.
MAXWELL?
Again, no. As I said, this is so far the guess with the strongest connection.

Congrats kwgibbs, you win the point! It's by the Briscoe company of Jackson, Michigan, founded by Benjamin Briscoe after he was forced out of Maxwell-Briscoe, and after he returned from his brief stint in France producing the Ajax.
