I don't want to step in the way of a sale, but I would recommend checking that it is large enough for your particular application. Very few will extend far enough out for the 27" split-rims on my 1913 Buick. Most will fit a 25" rim, though. Just a thought... Chris

I agree with the values. Sometimes less money, sometimes a bit more. They are quite common, and available in all shapes and sizes. Usually brass ones can be found for less if you aren't in a great hurry. The octagon shape is popular for early Locomobiles and Pierces, that used that shape on the lights and other items. Chris

I think you are correct. The first photo, and probably the second, looks like a Chalmers-Detroit. I am sort of ashamed I missed that one. Thanks for the help, Chris

Here is another photo I have. There are 13 people and 1 dog in it with just the driver in the front seat. The chassis is very "car-like". Hood and radiator out front, dual chain drive. The license plate is 1910 or 1911 New York. Can anyone help with its identification? Thanks, Chris

I only attached one picture. Sorry for the confusion. I will have to look deeper in my files. I know I have a picture of it when it was white. Great car either way. In fact, I have been fortunate enough to have ridden in it in both colors.

Here is another photo. Different car, but I am quite sure it is the same make. Any ideas?

Attached is a photo of a circa 1909 car. What kind is it? Thanks, Chris

The existing Washington is red, and it was red at the 1995 Hagerstown meet. It was restored just before that. I have pictures of the car that I will try to post here. If that doesn't work, I can scan and email them if anyone wants to see them. Or better yet, maybe someone else could post them here.

1914 - 1917 Cadillac rear taillight with bracket for sale. It may fit other years as well. Very good condition. Asking $125. Go to link, then click on "For Sale Items". Thanks for looking. Brassandgasmotorworks

I can't believe there were no other comments. I am very certain on the identification, but no one has a different opinion? I believe there are several other 1913 Buick owners that check this site regularly. Chris

What a great photo. The car is a 1913 Buick, Model 31. It has a four cylinder engine. It was the medium sized touring car Buick built in 1913. I hope this helps. Chris Paulsen

I have a 1913 Buick. It is right hand drive. Often people wonder why it is that way. The usual question is "Was it built in England?", depending on the preceding questions, sometimes I will tell them "No, it was built in Poland". I have even told a few that it was a mistake from the factory; probably a Monday car, and that all other 1913 Buick's have the steering on the left. My 1914 Model T has the carbide generator on the running board. That is always a popular question. Once in a while I have to reveal it is actually a cooler for beverages of choice. Lastly, the speedometer gear on the front wheel. People usually want to know if it is for the four-wheel drive, or four wheel breaks. Even though the gear is only on one front wheel.

The car in the foreground of the first picture is an Oldsmobile. It is also in the center of the second picture. The car on the right of the second pic is the Thomas. The third picture shows the same Oldsmobile on the left and the Thomas on the right. I can't tell what the car in the background is. I hope this helps, Chris

I have hundreds of early tools, hubcap wrenches, and other wrenches that we have accumulated over the years. Most are unmarked. They are all 1900 - 1935. Most are between $3 and $10 each. I will give discounts for quantities. I have common looking ones and unusual ones. Please email me with your wants. Pictures or drawings will make it easier. I can email pictures. I will respond to all inquiries. The link below will take you to a picture of only a few. http://www.brassandgas.com/ Email is usually the easiest way to reach me. cp7254@hotmail.com Thanks, Chris

Could #1 be a 1912-ish Warren? The only pictures I have of Warren's are in the Standard Catalog of Cars. Does anyone have any better pics? Thanks, Chris

I think you are right about the Queen. I came a cross the HCCA Gazette article from about 10 years ago on the history of the company. I would say it is definately a Queen. Thank you. I have a few more I can't identify. I will probably email them to peterg tonight. Any more help would be appreciated. Hopefully these will be easier. Chris

I guess you "shamed" me into responding. My main interest is brass cars. So, it should come as no surprise I really like the Oldsmobile Limited's of 1910-1912. I have had the great fortune to ride in the 1910 owned by the Harrah's Collection, and I had been on several tours with the late Dick Neller and his 1909 Model Z. I am not sure how practical a Limited would be for touring (other than on the highway). Having said that, an Autocrat wouldn't be too bad, either. Chris

I am glad everyone is enjoying picture #3. It is actually my great uncle. Everyone should be more careful with their insults. Ok, just kidding. Here are a couple hints I have seen on the originals: #2 looks like a Packard '30' chassis. It has Packard hubcaps. I think it has been rebodied, but it has 1913 Mass plates on it. #3 looks like a two-cylinder opposed (under the body). There is an inspection door on the side of the body. Water tank is probably under the hood, there is no filler neck or cap on the radiator. Does anyone have any ideas (on the cars, not the rear)? Thanks, Chris

I have to agree with you on #3. However, that is definately not why I bought the postcard. Luckily, it is not so big that it blocks any details of the car. LOL. Thank you for the expert analysis, Chris

You are correct, definately a Northern. I believe it is a 1906-08 Model C, two cylinder. I am not sure what the differences are between the three years. Similar engines and wheelbases, I think.

My email address is: cp7254@hotmail.com Thanks for any help, Chris

I agree, definitely a REO. I believe it is a one cylinder, though. The two cylinders were larger, and I think only the single cylinders had the fold-out rear seat. Chris

It is a 1909 Gobron-Brillie, from the Nethercutt Collection.

I have a 1913 Buick Model 30. It uses essentially the same engine and chassis. I will email you. I may be able to answer some questions. Chris Paulsen Monroe, NY
