Talk:RAMI by J.M.K.

Gobron-Brillié
There are some interesting details about the 1899 "Gobron-Brillée" Double Phaeton (model No 11): First, the description on the box is incorrect, the company's name was Gobron-Brillié. I just checked the bottom side of the model itself, it reads "GOBRON BRILLIE 1899". This error is surprising as Malartre already had a Gobron-Brillié in his collection. This leads to second, that J.M.K. chose a 1899 model instead of the collection's 1898 Double Phaeton with a different style front. .--Chief tin cloud (talk) 12:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Spelling
OK ! I see that on the base of my model as well ! Thanks. Also is the model in your picture accurate or is the top removed? (or did RAMI offer it in 'top up' and 'top down' versions?--Cstevencampbell (talk) 21:33, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * This is neither my picture nor my model. I just found it in the Gobron-Brillié vehicles category on commons. ASAIF, there were no R-S models without a top, or with top down. Mine has the Victoria top over the rear seats. Im not sure if there was variant with a sun umbrella instead. BTW, They made another model with a wrong name, No 32 "Brazier" which in fact is a Brasier. The trikes made by "Lacroix de Laville" (No 36; correctly: Lacroix & de la Ville) were generally called de:La Nef.
 * Accidentally, I started writing my own article about RAMI in February for the German WP; it is nearly completed by now.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 13:03, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I asked because my RAMI Gobron Brillie is a top up version (top being diecast metal, of course). I would appreciate any more sources about the beginnings and founders of the company. I didn't feel I had enough detail in some places.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 16:42, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that this is a very nice article. What do you miss?--Chief tin cloud (talk) 08:37, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I would like some more references to information about the founders and who they were. I am not too confident about the details of who Jarry, Malartre, and Koch were. My information came from a couple of websites. I would like more.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 16:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC). And if you know anything more about the demise of the company or have any other written sources that could be cited and referenced, that would be great.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 16:12, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems that I am working with the same sources as you do. The HP of the Musée Malartre offers a little bit more about Malartre. Seems that he made his fortune with scrap. His first very old car was an 1898 Rochet-Schneider, bought in 1931. He was deported by Germans in 1942 (collaboration with the Résistance?), and, having returned after the war, found 17 old cars which were hidden during German occupation of France.
 * I found that informations on Dintoys and the museum's HP are very similar.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 11:18, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Packaging
Concerning packaging: I have two models in my collection which came on a plastic base with a clear cover: #25 (Panhard & Levassor tonneau 1895 and #32, "Brazier" Landaulet 1908)--Chief tin cloud (talk) 08:37, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
