May it be a KIBLINGER High Wheeler?

Wendax · March 06, 2015, 04:13:49 AM

No

As I'm mostly sure that it's from USA I'll try another: RELIABLE DAYTON.

It is from the USA, but not a Reliable Dayton.

14 hp Chicago Motor Buggy, or the slightly longer and more expensive 18 hp Black, from about 1907. Both were manufactured by the Black Manufacturing Company, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Some references refer to a vehicle as a Chicago when it is in fact a Black.

Black Motor Buggy is correct, a bit earlier than 1907, I'll have a look at the model tonight. Locked for you.

4popoid · March 13, 2015, 04:14:40 AM

My reference says that The Black Manufacturing Company was organized in 1906, and built high wheelers from 1906 to 1909, so if the puzzle car is a Black and earlier than 1907, it must be a 1906. As to model, the only model I am currently aware of is a Type 112 (sometimes just called a Type 12).

Are you waiting for more from me?

??

Wendax · March 16, 2015, 04:09:03 AM

No, I forgot to look for it at home. I'll do so tonight.

Wendax · March 16, 2015, 12:55:32 PM

The seller claimed it to be a 1904 Black, but according to my sources it is most probably a 1908 Black Motor Buggy Type 112. So the point is undeniably yours.

Thanks Gerd, The puzzle car resembles, but is not identical to, the 1906 Black Motor Buggy at the Owl's head Transportation Museum in Owl's Head, Maine. It was the Owl's Head car that convinced me that the puzzle car was likely a Black.
