Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) It's apparent that the cars were from England where Gary said he's from. They are right hand driven and wear English plates.There are quite a few of your countrymen already here but lots more from Australia and New Zealand. We'd love to have you join the club but it isn't necessary and it might be a higher dues rate due to postage across the pond. Welcome and hope to hear more from you.

Guest AlCapone Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 KiIt's apparent that the cars were from England where Gary said he's from. They are right hand driven and wear English plates.There are quite a few of your countrymen already here but lots more from Australia and New Zealand. We'd love to have you join the club but it isn't necessary and it might be a higher dues rate due to postage across the pond. Welcome and hope to hear more from you. .Likely correct but remember the ass u me suggestion. I recently purchased a RHD in Detroit and another in Canada.

john2dameron Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Holsman high wheeler ..... That's got me stumped, ... I don't remember knowing of that one Some photos please! An elderly couple used to bring a Holsman to Winchester, VA to the show in May. Without looking it up I will say it was a 1902 model. I think all the Holsman cars had rope drive.

Ben Popadak Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The Holsman serial number plate gave a 1902 patent date consequently, all too many Holsman owners call their cars 1902 and they are not. There was a Holsman history book written some 20 odd years ago and then only 100 copies were printed. I've got a copy in the bookcase. If you give me your car's serial number, I will tell you what the book's best guess is on the date of your car. Also if you had your motor number, I would appreciate it for my own interest.

Guest Gary turbo baker Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Had a good look around engine but can not see any numbers , no number on log book no plaque on car. Fly wheel has a number.Do you no where the number should be? Regards Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Popadak Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hello Gary, The book is "Holsman History 1901-1910" by Franklin B. Tucker. The book was printed in 1994 and in the front it is stated only 100 copies were printed. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Antique-Holsman-Horseless-Carriage-Gas-Engine-Highwheel-Car-Truck-Tractor-/400971881133?hash=item5d5bc95aad:g:RrsAAOSwpdpVaN4I&vxp=mtr On ebay is a rough 1905 1906 early 1907 Holsman engine. It is cast iron. The later 1907 and 1908 had an aluminum center casting. I don't have a Holsman, only a Holsman engine (got a spare engineless Holsman). The engine number is in the middle 1600s if I remember right. The number was located on the flywheel and had an M after it. The matching number is lightly stamped into a jug, at the top just before it bolts to the center casting. The best I can figure out is the engine is a 1908. According to the book only one car was made in 1902, It also says automobile serial numbers and engine numbers weren't the same. The automobile serial number being assigned in lots as they were built and the engine number giving a little bit better description of the pecking order it was made. According to the book, year, vehicle no. ranges, no. mfg.1903 100- 131904 200- 501905 300- 400- 1291906 500- 700- 3891907 800- 1000- 206 cast iron engine1907 1800- 2200- 542 aluminum center engine1908 2300- 2700- 451 1909 2800- 2900- 200 aluminum center engine1909 The double rope sheaves were double flywheels for the engine and don't appear to look like your Holsman.
