In the forth photo from top it says "Greetings from Henniker, NH". Henniker used to have a sign that said that Henniker, NH was the only town anywhere with that name. I used to ski at Pats Peak in Henniker.

Yikes. That last picture.
That car got hit hard! The dash is above the back seat!
The whole side of the car is entirely missing.

It's sitting at the curb, so hopefully, it happened while parked!

The streetcar strikes again.

The 7th picture looks to be a pre T. The driver sits on the other side. I hope she doesn't run over the dog.

A Model R... probably.

"Yikes again,"
I could say that Our Henry organised that crash test to show the strength of the below axle wish bone. Even the castor angle looks correct. ....n

The 8th picture appears to be a mid-summer 1914 chassis with
the steel crank handle. Still uses the spade mounted side lamps.
Both acetylene gas lines and clamps for the headlamps show up.

That 8th picture is interesting, and a very nice look at the 1914 chassis.
Writing appears to be "Observing Ford Chassis".
One must wonder whether that chassis was purchased as a bare chassis (available either with or without fenders), or has been stripped of its factory body and etcetera.
Overall, the chassis looks fairly clean, however there appears to be a fair amount of dust sticking to most of the rear end and spring. Was it driven several miles on a dusty road to get there?
A good number of men standing there looking at and maybe admiring the chassis. I wonder what their plans are for it?

A good Ford was like modeling clay. A true artist could take it and it could become almost anything!
