HURTU / FRANCE

HURTU / NEUILLY / FRANCE ( 1896 - 1930 )

Like OPEL in Germany the Compagnie des Autos et Cycles HURTU started by making sewing-machines and later bicycles.
The first car was offered in 1896 equipped with a copied BENZ engine.
Car production ceased in 1929 / 1930.
It is quite difficult to find a HURTU enameled radiator emblem because only few radiators were fitted with this emblem.


this is the only known enameled HURTU emblem; the two holes are original to fix it


Year
Size
      ca. 8.0 x  5.0 cm      
  1914

Estimate


This is a painted emblem. You find it on the 1897 HURTU:

to collect the emblem you have to buy the whole vehicle.......
