The Russo-Baltic Wagon Factory (RBVZ) was founded in 1874 in Riga, then a major industrial centre of Russian Empire. Originally the new company was a subsidiary of the Van der Zypen & Charlier company in Cologne-Deutz, Germany. In 1894 the majority of its shares were sold to investors in Riga and St. Petersburg, among them local Baltic German merchants F. Meyer, K. Amelung, and Chr. Schroeder, as well as Schaje Berlin, a relative of Isaiah Berlin. Russo-Balt cars were pretty popular cars at that time. Today we have only 2 cars: model "K" in Polytechnical Museum (Moscow) - the original one, and model "D" in Riga (body is nowadays replica). This type of car belongs to Russo-Balt 24/40 type. Only 8 models were produced: №№ 530, 532, 533, 534, 535, 538, 539, 542.
