    I have had this for a few years now and no one can really tell me what it is off of. It has BOSCH EQUIPT on the bottom edge and it is heavy for it's size. If anyone can help I figure I will come across them from the HAMB.

    The guys face was stamped on American Bosch equipment. He was an old racer but can't remember his name. I know Clark knows more about him.

    Are the pictures blurry, or should I lay off this wine?
    Just a guess, Barney Oldfield?

    Yes it is Camille Jenatzy (spell?) He was the face of American Bosch. I have a lot of cool stuff from them.

    He was killed at a young age. I think the story goes he was hunting with friends and was in some brush acting like an animal and was shot.

    If you would be interested in getting rid of it I have a lot of cool stuff and could trade something equally cool for it.

    I remember having an old Bosch T-Shirt and seeing an old Bosch tin sign years ago with his face characturized on it. It's cool to put a name with a face, I always wondered why the Bosch racer resembeled a devil of some sort.
