I am probably the guy on E-bay with the over priced manual.....I posted that item with limited knowledge on value of item. Make me an offer......I have a 3'x5' lubrication chart/poster for the 434? model as well as Packard magazine ads circa 1900-20's.....rather sell to enthusiast than dealer. 508-56-3336...Central Ma. Cheers, Bren

My grandfather was like a kid ripping out pages of his father's magazines all the car ads he could find. He also alphabetically listed over 1500 car/carriage manufacturers. He restored a couple of Mercers and was one of the original seven who started the SCCA, in 1944. I have photos as well, including the famous Duesenberg 16 valve "Walking Beam". ? I had no idea! Thought it was my grandfather's Mercer. The ads I have in color are....Mercer, Marmon, Pierce-Arrow, Willys-Knight Six, Lincoln, Chandler Six and Fiat. -last two a little dirty. B/W cover ads...Wills St. Claire, Packard. Medium to small B/W ads...Abbott-Detroit, American Bicycle Co., Atlas, Babcock Electric, Brush, Buffalo Electric, Cadillac, Chandler, Columbia Electric, Consolidated, Deere, Dodge Bros., Elect.

These are just loose pages collected from 1899-1910. I have magazines-some good covers, some not or missing from 1890-1910-Cosmo, Putnams, Century, McClures. I find what you do is great. I thought I had an old iron-on decal photo sheet. Wanted to try and print a picture for fun, but I believe I threw it out long ago. Bren

The best picture I have of a Mercer...in the factory still I think...Bren

Les Taylor bought his Mercer from my grandfather and was wondering where she might be now? The last picture is from a negative. No other info..Bren
