  1. Thank you all very much. I took a little time away over the holidays and just got back to check this now. It definitely matches that Pope Toledo as Chris and mechanician said. I hunted all over for a match to those graceful looking running boards/fenders, and voila, there it is. It's such a neat looking car. Also, looking at Chris' photo of a Pope-Toledo, I now want a car with a side wicker storage basket! Interesting info about the lamps as well!
  2. I have a very cool glass negative that includes this car. It seems to be a Kansas City jitney (car for hire) based on the other details of the pic. I know that's the correct location, but apparently jitneys ran in Kansas City mostly between 1915 and 1919, and I'm not sure whether that lines up with the age of this car. I can't figure out what kind of vehicle it is. When I search, those headlights are the distinguishing feature that Google focuses in on, but it doesn't really take me to a matching vehicle. I have found that those lights are "French-type carriage lamps", according to the Standard Carriage Lamp Company of Chicago, circa 1903, but those could be attached to many cars. Following the carriage lamp trail (probably a false trail), it leads me to a lot of cars that don't match the body...like a Panhard motor car with Muhlbacker body, or a 1903 Gladiator Tonneau. Does anyone recognize this specific model? I can't find any markings anywhere, except possibly on the hubcap. I've included a close up pic of the tire where you can kind of see that there's something on that cap. It's very blurry but maybe the vague shape will jog someone's memory where it doesn't mean anything to me. I have no shots from other angles, just this one. Thanks!
  3. TerryB thanks for telling me. No pics would be a dealbreaker for me I think, since I'm starting from a state of cluelessness. Ah well, I will maybe keep an eye out for one really cheap at an auction...which is how I got myself into this situation in the first place!
  4. Keiser31, thank you very much for your answer! What does anyone think about that Hollander book as a resource? They're not very expensive, maybe I should just buy an old one.
  5. I ended up with this cap in a random auction lot, and I can't identify it. Seems to be steel, not aluminum. 8.5 inches. Does anybody know this one? Front/back pic below. I have some others including a set of 4 MGs that I took a quick pic of one of. They are a tiny shade under 9 inches. I don't want to be taking up y'alls time too much, as I am not a collector but a seller. So, my second question is, are there resources I can use to narrow down what I have so I am not constantly bothering people? Google Lens sometimes gives me something that looks matching, but I don't necessarily trust that the person describing the matched cover knows what it actually is either, when it comes down to specifics like the model year or whether something is OEM or repro. I have heard Hollanders mentioned but I don't know if it has good photos, or which edition is best to buy, or if it would help a novice like me. All help appreciated, thanks!
