[Online Newsletter......Any Interest?]

Hello,

 

I am interested in seeing this happen.

I'm in the process of trying to locate a very specific car or one just like it. My wife's late grandfather used to own the Angels Theatre in Angels Camp, CA between 1900 and 1920. In 1912 his theatre gave away a Liberty-Brush automobile. We do not have much information at all, so any information would be greatly appreciated. My assumption is that this was a 1912 model, but I'm not sure when the Liberty-Brush name started to be used.

My ultimate goal is to acquire said vehicle (or one just like it) and donate it to the Angels Camp Museum. For those of you unfamiliar with Angels Camp, this is where Mark Twain hung out for some time during his day. This small town is where the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee happens each year. This was the basis of one of Mark Twain's earliest (1865) short stories "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and brought him national acclaim.

I fully realize that finding that exact car are extremely slim since we know so little about it. I have attached a picture used to advertise the giveaway. The picture clearly states "The Liberty-Brush" automobile. The giveaway was held on January 20th 1912.

 

Again, any help identifying what year/model this car was or where I might find it would be tremendous and much appreciated.

 

Thanks, Perry

Hi and Thanks!

 

Yeah I figured as much. I was hoping there was a registry with known information on as many specific cars as possible, maybe like the Shelby Registry, but I guess that is way too much to hope for. Finding an identical one would suffice if I knew what to look for exactly.

[Looking for a specific Brush automobile]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to locate a very specific Liberty-Brush automobile given away on January 20th 1912 at the Angels Theatre in Angels Camp California. My wife's grandfather owned this theatre at that time. We found a bunch of fliers for the giveaway and I have a couple of different photos of the car given away, but we don't know anything else about the car. We don't even know what model year it was. All we know is that it was given to some lucky winner on that date. It does say "Liberty Brush" under the picture on the glass slide I have, so can anyone tell me what year and model this car is and where I might look for it? Is there any kind of registry for these?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks, CobraRGuy
