Re: The neighbor kids
An online inflation calculator determined that $1,000.00 1904 dollars would be worth $35,448.65 in 2025 dollars. Wow! No wonder so many Americans could not afford to own an automobile until the Model T came along and even the Model T was very expensive in the early years.

Same guy. Good double exposure on the same glass plate.

Re: The neighbor kids
It is the neighbor kid that enabled me to have Daisy Mae.
The second owner was 7 when his neighbor bought the car new. He loved it from day one, and ultimately kept asking to buy it thru the years, finally being successful in 1930.

Call me anything you want...just so long as it isn't "late for dinner"

Re: The neighbor kids
The last photo with the brass era speedster sure looks interesting. I wish I could see more of the car. It caught my eye that the spark and throttle levers may have had knobs on them, after zooming in, still not sure? However, looking closely, the headlamp brackets appear to have the cast in clipping points for top straps. A 1912ish feature that went away about the same time as the S/T knobs.
The fellow sitting beside himself in the model N/R/S is particularly interesting. A long time ago, I had an uncle (married my mom's sister) that was quite a photographer back in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He made a bunch of photos of my grandfather doing silly things in double exposures. I don't know if my cousins might still have them anymore or not, but I haven't seen them in more than fifty years (uncle was killed in a plane crash in 1964). I remember a few of them, my grandfather kicking himself, shaking hands with himself, and an especially good one using a whisk broom to sweep the orchard dust off the back of his coveralls! I also recall one of my grandmother beside herself. Neat stuff!
