Need make name & year.

Things in Rookie-land seem to be moving slower than this car... so it's up to the Experts now.

Wrong year.
Wrong make.
Right type of car (steam).

1902 Steamobile from Keene, NH, USA?

All those turn of the century steam buggies look much the same but how about a Locomobile of say 1900?
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

Neither of the above, but the last guess is the closest.

That's the one! I believe the driver in the video is even the same guy whose shoe is visible in my picture (which I took myself).

I said Locomobile was close because the Overman Co., that made the Victor, was associated with Locomobile. Locomobile used Overman engines, and ended up absorbing Overman.

Mason engines were more usual on Locomobiles, I'd say. No time to research, but that's what I remember from the work we used to do.

Sorry, that's what I get for trying to go by memory. Did a quick search and found that Overman steam pumps were commonly used in Locomobiles.
