Not sure if this is a pun or something else. You lost me!

I like seaplanes but I have not seen this one before. It looks a nice airplane that should have been a good flyer.
I'm struggling too. Random thoughts - the obvious choice would be American, but there are Russian hints also. Nicely made and streamlined, so why the ugly engine installation ?
Yes, the clean lines suggest Michael Gregor, but I can't find any reference to him designing a flying boat.
Not Russian or related to Gregor. That is a Salmson radial...

something german maybe ?
Moses hasn't said it's NOT American.......
To save you all a hammering of Aerofiles (no photo anyways), this is of 1938 vintage, the Trimmer Trimcraft.
Up next, I have a rather angular 2-place monoplane...

It's been a long day - curling in a big tournament at Lockerbie ( yes, the same place - life goes on... ).
You got us fair and square with the Trimmer - I reckon the flimsy flivver is French, but then again.... the garlic-chompers were at one stage very fond of those witches-hat tail units - very appropriate for this time of year....
Not French or of garlic chomping origin...

Time to reveal as I don't know too much about this one. It's a Scheller S.IV from Germany. Got any info Mike?
