It's very similar to a Chase.

You have to chase it further, it is not a Chase :)

Well, the Standard Catalog has this photo as a 1909 one, but in general it was built from 1907 to 1909 by the Eureka Motor Buggy Company of Beavertown, Pennsylvania. Apart from this three-cylinder model there was a two-cylinder Model D of similar lines.

According to two on-line sources, this is the original 1907 Eureka Model D buggy, built at the former Kearns Buggy Factory

Another point for you

Interesting. According to the Standard Catalog, Eureka started building the motor buggy in 1907, but the car did not sell. So they looked for an investor. In 1908 Maxwell Kearns joined in and renamed car and company after himself, but in 1909 some cars would be sold as Eurekas again.
