Hmm, that’s a tough nut to crack…

Here’s a list of all Dutch car brands: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijs...dse_automerken

Oh Goodie, goodie....a challenge

I don't have any idea on the car brand....but it does indeed show a Dutch "provincie kenteken"......from 1906-1950 Netherlands had licence plates based on region. "H" was Zuid-Holland. "57026" would indicate that the plate was released in 1927.
The National Archives hold lists with these licence plates, but you will have to make an appointment to have a look in the actual archive.

Yes, you could very well be correct

Pretty sure not Hupmobile. There are many similar scripts.

This is causing a great deal of interest and many guesses on the Historic Commercial Vehicle site. Surely SOMEONE can hit the jackpot as it is almost readable?
