…..and, on reflection, it looks a bit earlier than 1920.  Could it be a (1916 maybe) Roamer?

I didn't find it in the lesser known brands. Could it be a "common" Stanley?

Not a Stanley, but certainly well-known among the steamer brands.

Could it be a Brooks?
Georgano says they were all saloons except a prototype tourer in 1923, and this looks earlier than that, so probably not.

Doble? Possibly a Model A Touring from 1914?
