It looks a bit similar to Emil Seeliger's self-built car from 1904

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?

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

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.  :D

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.

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).

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