What is this?

Need make name & year.

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

1899 Mobile steam car?

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?

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

Neff, 1901?

Nope, but that's the right year.

1901 Victor steamer

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.

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.
