Number six is an interesting car. It appears to be a 1914 body, with 1913 windshield, 1917 or later fenders, no sidelamps, and late electric headlamps.
I wonder what year that photo was taken? whenever it was, the car appears to be ready and able to keep doing what it was intended to do.

Photo number four, a 1915/'16 touring car looks really nice. There looks to be a horn button on the steering column, so likely a later 1915 or 1916 model year.

Photo number nine, another late 1915/'16 touring car with a horn button on the steering column. It almost looks like some of the same people as number four?

Number fifteen another 1915 touring car! Different people this time, and an earlier 1915 with brass trim on the lamps and a bulb horn.

Number eleven a great 1911 torpedo runabout!

I also have to mention number ten. An interesting speedster with a trailer!

Another wonderful set of views of eras gone by. As always, thanks again Tom R!

You left out the accessory radiator ornament, the famous waving arm police officer . Wonder if the owner is a cop.

I often wonder when I see these brass cars, how many had dry cells or aux batterys to aid starting.

Dollisdad .... Any idea of where your first picture was taken? In the day for a store to carry Victor phonographs,.. Edison phonographs... Pianos... Must have been located in a thriving busy City !

Says Portsmouth NH on the truck.

I did miss that! It was quite late last night and I didn't zoom in closely. I thought that shape was something on the porch behind the car.
Thank you for pointing that out.

I often wonder about those type accessories. Having looked closely at literally thousands of era photographs? I have actually seen only a handful of era photographs showing those on a car. I had seen far more original waving arm accessory policeman radiator toppers at swap meets. I never bought one, always had too many other things to spend money on.

It was quite late, and I had just finished making a comment on the 1914 runabout question thread. I simply had to make a couple comments about the 1914 runabout above, and of course could not stop there.

Some nice comments from others above as well. That is what I like to see. Dome interesting conversation about era photographs and the world around the model Ts we love.

Photo number eight, the 1924 (I think?) roadster with the salesman's box on the back. Notice the square wood felloe non-demountable wheels. No oil sidelamps suggests that the car likely does have the starter option. A rather common choice at that time.
