I am in central Wisconsin.

Looking for any advice on this. There is a crack that runs between my fifth and sixth valve seats on one of my cylinder jugs. The crack has not propagated up through to the top, but this is what concerns me. It is a difficult space to get into, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a vendor that would be able to do a weld repair on a cast cylinder like this. Some have recommended lock stitching, but I do not think that would be applicable here. Others have also said that they have run cars for years with such cracks, the heat from operation closing them up, but again, I worry about propagation up through the top of the jug. Any advice would be welcomed!

Looking for the owners of either the 1913 model "22" Maxwell that sold at the RM Sotheby Hershey auction last year (October 19th), originally part of the Merrick Auto Museum collection, OR, the owner of the 1913 "30" Maxwell roadster, which was at one point in southern Wisconsin. Contact me here or at svindsson@gmail.com, 715-281-7234 or, if anyone here knows said persons, please pass my message along. Trying to nail down some remaining elusive details.

Anyone know what makes and models of lamps where being used by Maxwell from the factory? I know Ben P. and Merel S. had put together a partial list of some years and models matched with specific models of lamps, but it is not complete. Specifically, I am looking for information regarding the years of 1912 and 1913. Westchester lamps seem to have been the the favored make for Maxwells prior to late 12 and 13. The car I own, a model 30 produced in late 1912, has instead Knickerbocker black and nickel headlamps. The cowel and tail lamps were missing when originally purchased. A model 40 produced at the same time also has these. However, a model 22 roadster, also produced at the same time, has nickel plated Westchesters. So, to get more to the heart of it; do we know when Maxwell moved more to Knickerbockers, as it seems they did(?), do we have any info as to if Knickerbocker made Maxwell script lamps and what model numbers, and did Westchester make nickel played Maxwell script lamps, or are the lamps.on the surviving 22 a later plating?

What make and models of lamps does it have?

This is quite late, but do you have photos of the lamp in question?

Looking for a Maxwell-Briscoe Fry Reflector as shown in the attached photos. The outside diameter of the housing is 8 3/8", and the diameter of the reflector itself is 6 1/2". Any leads or advice appreciated. Luke Schwiesow Svindsson@gmail.com

The No. 4 is the second to the right. It should have Maxwell No . 4 on the top

Sorry for the late response, I did not get a notification that there was a reply. I can send a picture if you still have the lamp in question.

Sorry for the late replay Mark. Long story short, I had to get a new computer.... Thanks for your offer, but that is not the right kind of horn I am looking for. The twist should be perpendicular to the horn mouth, and tie into a cable leading to the bulb. I could live with a double twist, right hand drive with a bracket of same dimensions.

Searching for a Maxwell No. 4 tail lamp for my 1913 touring. Pretty sure I have the mounting bracket, but would like to check dimensions.

Looking for a single twist bulb horn, right-hand drive, with a bracket having 1/4" holes, 3 3/4" apart on center. Wanting to place on a 1913 Maxwell. Thanks! Luke Schwiesow

Are these still available?
