JOSWIN / GERMANY

 

JOSWIN / BERLIN / GERMANY    ( 1920 - 1925 )

 The company "Motorenwagen Josef Winsch" , later "JOSWIN - Motorenwagen Fabrik produced luxurious 6-cylinder sports cars and touring cars from circa 1920 to circa 1925. After WWI, the facilities of the German aircraft industry had to be destroyed due to the Treaty of Versailles. The company JOSWIN took the chance and equipped their vehicles with leftover aircraft engines.

 At first I suspected that the JOSWIN vehicles had no radiator emblem at all, especially because the only surviving vehicle, which is exposed in  Den Haag / Netherland at the Louwman Museum, has no emblem.

But then I found this picture of a JOSWIN radiator in Braunbeck's MOTOR magazine, which clearly shows an emblem:

In an advertisement from 1921 you can see another drawn emblem. However, it can be assumed that this is purely a graphic and that such an emblem was never on a vehicle.
