Can you ID this car without enlarging the Picture?

If you enlarge it enough it can get obvious.  Year is shown.  Got a guess?  I’m rearranging some of my wall art today and had a chance to look close enough to find the identifying mark.  Note the photo is from Lebanon PA.  The wooden frame still has the photographer’s label on the back so it may be as framed in 1917.

There are two Keystone cars listed in the list of American automobiles I have. One is the Keystone and one is the Keystone Steamer. Not any years given in the list.

Originally when I got this photo I thought it was a Keystone car too but it’s not.  I think Keystone was earlier.

I don't mind sticking my neck out and playing the fool occasionally. In spite of the headlamps, it looks like a Pierce Arrow to me. The distinctive fenders (sans headlamps), hood, and radiator (although a common style in the era), all suggest a P. A. in PA. And if you look closely near the bottom of the windshield, you can see part of an about two inch wide bead following the curve of the cowl. I have seen that on a couple of mid1910s Pierce Arrows, including a very good friend's 1915.
