Is it featured in any book or in the Standard Catalog?

It is mentioned in the Standard Catalog

Was it later or previously known like something else, like Shelby/Darling, Reinerston/Rex Buckboard and similar?

A company that built 2 cars, from Michigan, active for less than one year in 1903.
This one is a gasoline car.
Is the other a gasoline car as well?
Just a clarification: active for more than 1 year as a 1903-1903 company or as a late 1902 early 1903 (or late 1903 early 1904)?

oops, the material just disappeared from the web. But this was a company set up in 1903. It made two cars, then realised it's not working, so they stopped. Apparently the company survived afterwards. Probably both cars were petrol powered

I'm not looking for it on the web but on my index...I already browsed all the Standard Catalog and now I know it's not pictured there...I hope the info online matches with the ones in that book.
If I sort my info according to what I know (2 models, 1903 only, Michigan, gasoline) I got nothing...
Not a Jackson, right?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #42 on:** July 09, 2016, 02:35:35 PM »

no, there's no picture in the Standard Catalog - in fact, they say that it is not known whether the two cars were really built at all. But here we have proof. No, it's not a Jackson, but you're onto something

Butcher & Gage

I gave you a lot of clues

! Congrats

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #45 on:** July 09, 2016, 04:42:10 PM »

You did, but I found it only because I put a special tag in my index when the production of the maker is in doubt.
Without THAT clue I don't think I could have made it...I filed 6713 makers from those catalogs!
