Stock with most coupons remaining at bottom. Métallurgique were cars made by Société Anonyme L'Auto Métallurgique, Marchienne-au-Pont, Belgium, between 1898 and 1928. Before making cars, the company had made railway locomotives and rolling stock.

The first cars were 4.5 hp (3.4 kW) 2-cylinder models with chain drive. In 1900, the company switched to shaft drive. In 1905 an all-new range was introduced, resembling contemporary Daimlers, both designed by Ernst Lehmann, who come to Métallurgique from there in 1903. These cars, with pressed-steel chassis, live rear axle, shaft drive, high-tension ignition, and the option of dynamo-powered electric lighting, were to establish the company as one of the finest makers of sporting cars in Europe. Production was targeted for export, and most sales were in Britain. In 1906, there came the 4-cylinder inlet over exhaust 10 L (610 cu in), with a claimed output of 100 bhp (75 kW) at 1400 rpm, enabling the car to reach 160 km/h (99 mph). The cars got a distinctive V front radiator in 1907. Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9tallurgique
