The snapshot of this roadster comes from the collection of Hugo Strötbaum, who is doing research into the first record companies. The photo was taken in Turkey presumably in Istanbul in the 1930s. Cars in those days especially in Turkey were extremely rare and expensive to import. The driver is probably Herman or Julius Blumenthal, the founders of Turkey’s first independent gramophone company, the Orfeon Gramophone Company. The Orfeon record label independently produced and manufactured records from 1910/11 till the end of the nineteen twenties. By identifying the mark and model Hugo may have some indication how to date the picture. The body of this roadster looks to be engine-turned aluminum, and maybe the big radiator mascot could be a clue. Your ideas are welcome!
fantasti the body polished at "rosette"
