erniet 0 Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) I collect old cast steel steps from early cars (horseless carriages) and buggy steps that have names inscribed in them. I recently acquired a step that says "Maxwell". I would like to know which model car it was used on and year(s) of production.

JO BO 3 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Nice find. I believe this is very early. I saw one on a 1905 Maxwell Model H a long time ago that if I remember right was like this one. I know people have parts books out there that could verify that but my guess would be 1905 and 1906 Model HA touring car. I know they used step plates for several years after that maybe up until 1911 but don't think they had Maxwell embossed on them after initial years of production.

erniet 0 Posted July 23, 2019 Is there any chance anyone has a photo of one of the cars that has this step on it? I'm looking for a photo to place beside my step. Or if someone wouldn't mind sending me a copy of a parts book that illustrates this step would be appreciated. I'm not looking for the entire book just something in print showing this step would be great. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pwiernicki 0 Posted July 24, 2019 I agree that this is likely very early - and a great find! That step is a work of art. You might want to look around on autopaper.com to see if you can find pictures of the early Maxwell models. If they don't have what you're looking for on their website, you can message them through the site and ask them to check their inventory for specific things.

gossjh 19 Posted August 11, 2019 My 1908 NC 2 cylinder roadster has a similar looking step plate, but it also has underside bosses to guide the brake rods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
