It is not

[pnegyesi]

It's not that. This was offed for sale by a manufacturer.

Powered by steam engine?

I was tryping the following when you asked the same thing!

Looks like many of the small steamers of the 1890s, so is it in fact a steamer?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not steam-powered.

[pnegyesi]

Electric?

[Otto Puzzell]

Nope

[Otto Puzzell]

Yes

[Wendax]

1903 Buckmobile?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not one of those. This is also older.

[RayTheRat]

1899 American?

[Otto Puzzell]

1899 American?

Yes!

[RayTheRat]

Well, well, well!  Here's a photo from my "archives."  I don't know any more about it other than its Stanhope body style.

[Otto Puzzell]

Same body configuration, for sure. Now, you only need to wade through the 1,000 or so companies that built that body style around the turn of the century. 

[RayTheRat]

That IS the company.  It's the American stanhope, built in 1899.  Well, at least that's the photo I attached.  If it's another company other than the one called "American" (sorta like American Motors...and apparently it is), I'll keep looking.

[Otto Puzzell]

This car was offered by a company not called Stanhope

[Paul Jaray]

I have 5 makers called American (American Carriage Motor Company, New York City, New York - American Motor Company, New York City, New York - American Automobile Company, New York City, New York - American Automobile Motor & Power Company, Brooklin, New York - American Manufacturing Company, Alexandria, Virginia) plus 88 makers called American XXXXXXX.
I think RTR refers to one of them.
(BTW there was a Stanhope too: Stanhope Motors (Leeds) Ltd, Leeds, Yorkshire \ Stanhope Brothers Ltd, Leeds, Yorkshire, but not in the USA).

[Otto Puzzell]

The puzzle car maker's name is not "American", "Stanhope", or any combination of those two names.

[RayTheRat]

Is the model called "stanhope"?  That is an open 2-seater, with tiller steering?
