Er, that may be a very subtle reference to something, but I am missing it ????

No, that was me just saying it is probably from the USA somewhere and I haven't a clue.
I think it is a Laird Cabin Biplane.

The body reminds one of the Spartan Executive in shape.... an early Spartan prototype?????
You're all close, but nobody has it yet. A one-off closed version of a Mid-West biplane which itself was produced in small numbers.
The designer's brother built much more famous machines.............
Looks somewhat like a Paramount Cabinaire.
Can't leave this hanging any longer. It's the Butler Coach from 1929. OH please - how about another from that new book, Moses ??
It's not a new book...
There was a landplane version also. This was one of the company's earlier designs. The company is still in existence!
Maybe a Cessna design..or Bellanca?
She is from Europe and powered by a Cirrus II...
Piaggio P.9 by chance?
The P.9 is off the board.Curiously skipped over in Thompson's Italian Book.
Over to you John.
This should go quickly....
Quickly? I'm thinking only a dedicated deep troll of Aerofiles might cough up a clue.
It's got a DH tailplane therefore we know it isn't a de Havilland...
Is that a Liberty mill at the front end ? Yup, it's Aerofiles or nothing, Kevin......
Could it be a Potez 25 (XXV) G.R. with Lorraine engine?

Perhaps not so quickly...my history has been the harder they seem, the quicker they go with the sleuths in here. Negative on the Potez...she's an all American girl. Yes, it's a Liberty up front. She was converted (minor changes) from something else (war surplus) to serve a specific purpose (one-off). It is in Aerofiles (without a pic). First flight 1920. The interplane struts (somewhat unique) should help point you in the right direction of what she was/is. The pic could be better, here it is lightened up a bit to better show the detail. Third airplane associated with the builder - he went on to produce several other interesting designs well into the late '60's.
Okay, enough pain and suffering. This is the Waterman 3-L-400. Open house gentleman.
That might be the only conventional Waterman design!
These two chaps seem proud of their aeroplane...
The Pobjoys are a bit of a giveaway - the General Aircraft GAL-41 ??
Yup, the GAL-41 featuring a Pobjoy sandwich. Golden ale to the lowlands.
Famous aviator at the controls of his racing floatplane.
