 Not a single  DESSAUER vehicle has survived. But there was a drawing of the DESSAUER emblem, which was made by the swedish boy Gustav Moeller back in the 1920s. Gustav lived near the ferry port in Helsingborg / Sweden and drew the emblems of the waiting cars there. What a great hobby that still helps and delights us a hundred years later:
