Yeah, Mark. It's apparently not so new! As for poor Momma Horse, I'm thinking she's worried about the glue factory in her future.

Re: Post Cards Again
The Model Ts in the Cobb Shinn cards at least resemble Model Ts. These cards as well as the last two styles are all drawn by the artist "Witt". While there are three styles of his cards, all but one that I have that are postmarked are either 1917 or 1918, suggesting they were all drawn about the sam...

Even though these aren't signed, I'm certain they are Witt artwork. I have several of this same style that are signed, including the last one of the previous batch. Interesting to me is that the two completely different styles of artwork are both postmarked either 1917 or 1918, suggesting that they ...

New Model T Postcards
I've exhausted my supply of Cobb Shinn Model T postcards so it's time to move on to others. While the Cobb Shinn cards clearly, obviously, depict Model Ts, these Ts look like generic cartoon old cars. At least they're Flivver positive! The artwork is signed but...?

These accessory shock absorbers are on my '14. I would appreciate any help confirming whether or not they are early Hassler shocks. I've never seen another set. The design is certainly similar to the common bee hive Hasslers with the obvious differences being the spring design and the grease fitting...

Re: Model T Post Cards #3
Peter, thanks for the card information. I have 11 of the Dutch cards and 11 of the 4 triangle cards, one of which is the Charlie Chaplin card. I guess from that I'm three cards shy of those. However, I have 14 of the Cobb X. Shinn cards and none are duplicates.

Rich, I'm curious and meant to ask you about the card you added to my first post. It's the same card as the third one above except for the color. Does yours actually have that yellow tone to it or did your computer do that? None of mine have that tone to them.

I'd agree with 1919 or 1920. Low radiator. No cowl lamps, so it has a starter so at least 1919. Early style motor mount (pre 1921?)

Re: This should be in a museum
I can't help but be amused by the sellers comment that he's not sure whether or not the 1920 engine is original to his WW1 truck. Maybe the war didn't actually end when the history books suggest.
