The German FAMO ( = FAHRZEUG- u. MOTORENWERKE G.M.B.H. ) was located in the city of Breslau / Silesia ( Schlesien ) which was renamed Wroclaw in Poland after WWII. The company was founded in 1935 and specialised in agricultur technology. Towards the end of WWII they also built heavy half-track trucks with a 12-cylinder engine from Maybach.
All FAMO emblems are hard to find items.
