a Stewart and Clark speedometer, not a Stewart Warner. I need to look into that and see if this was the same company before a merger or other business deal
the license plate is leather, and the aluminum ones weren't the uniform plate size and material yet, that would be another 10 years or so in the making. Also, note that the steering wheel and drivers seat are on the right hand side, as left side driving position also wasn't uniform yet
Lots of info on leather plates here: http://leatherlicenseplates.com/Home.html
ReplyDeleteStewart Warner was founded as Stewart & Clark in 1905.
ReplyDeletewow, thanks! Then this is one of their first speedometers!
DeleteI remember looking at a 1907 REO at a car show a few years ago - there was a huge drip tray (probably fitted by the owner) under the chain drive to the rear axle to catch all of the oil and grease that was flying off the chain.
