    small newspaper advertising of 1928 (the oldest advertisement which I find could of company könig)
    ... the street address: "skalitzer straße 9"

    I try to translate the word lines…

    - the only one, in practice worked " liliput (small body) - engine "
    - early order advisable
    - the ideal aide engine for sailing boat and paddle boat 1 (!!!) HP, weight 8.5 kg, price 220 RM (old German currency)
