Calling on the power of the Pelican brain trust for any experts in Mercedes history.
Looking for information about the badge and car below:
Thinking this is around 1916 or so. The badge is very unique with the flipped star showing Benz on the top and Daimler on the bottom. I haven't had any luck finding info on the interwebs. The badge doesn't show in histories of the Mercedes badge over the years (at least the ones that I've seen so far). The car looks like a racer given the hood and small windscreen.
Any wisdom out there? Thanks much.
