The "Passett Ornithopter" from 1912. Intended to fly by flapping its wings like a bird. This one, the orange contraption in the background, was built for 20th Century Fox, and used in "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines"

This did not have a label, but I think it is an International Harvester Auto-Buggy c. 1910.

Started by Alanson Partridge Brush in Highland Park, Michigan, the Brush Motor Car Company was in business from 1907 to 1909, then became the Brush Runabout Company from 1909 until it closed in 1913. This vehicle is an example from 1908.

1903 Grout Steam Car. Starting in1899, the three Grout brothers, Carl, Fred and C.B. were set up in business by their father, a sewing machine maker, to manufacture steam powered cars. Not present on this example from 1903 is the drop down front seat for two more passengers.

1912 Hupmobile Model 20.

1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom Boattail Speedster. Worth restoring as one sold at Sotheby's back in 2007 for $115,000, though it did have its orignal Louis Vuitton luggage, & an imaculate restoration!
