Going through another batch of old photos. Unfortunately some were misidentified.

 

There were 2 photos that were marked as Itala, I've put the other one up in another post.

 

Marked on the back as Itala, but no year or model. anyone able to help ?

 

Thanks in advance

This does appear to be an Itala. It seems to have the curly Itala logo rather than the later plain oval. It has electric lights suggesting earliest cca 1913. It seems to have a quite long bonnet so is relatively powerful. Wings with splashguards suggest pre-war as do the electric headlamps. My suggestion for the year is cca 1913'14. They made 11 different sizes of models in that year with only marginally small differences in specifications, so any guess could be out, - best guess is 35'45 but probably the 50'65. Radiator surrounds became curved soon after and no cars were made WW1.
