Alan, thanks for interest! I realize this is off topic for a Pierce forum…. I’m waiting to hear a price, to make a decision….if he has a numbered engine, easy enough to verify if it came in my car from the factory, as the body tag (see picture) shows engine number.

Craig, that’s a good idea, I have 20 or 30 items that I just looked at that are directly related to the factory, including factory rules, ticket for plant tour, WWI war efforts, 25 year and mechanical club pins, and so forth. I’ll get them together and submit an article for future publication.

Thanks! David C.

With all the discussion about headlight bulbs, here’s a fun item in my collection. Just a box of light bulbs, no big deal, until you read the fine print!

One of my favorite non-Pierce Pierce Arrow items, a 1910 Converse Pierce touring car….all metal, not perfect by any means but these are difficult to find in any condition, very large toy…..

I’d be glad to share in whatever manner is deemed appropriate.

To me, there are different areas of Pierce memorabilia:

-the pre- bicycle Geo. N. Pierce items (ice box, bird cage feeders, bird cage)

– bicycles and related items, Buffalo made

-factory items or literature

-dealer items (give-always, advertising, literature)

-Duplex oil cans, made for Pierce Arrow use

-companies that promoted Pierce Arrow vehicles in their advertising or give-always

-items that have the Pierce Arrow name, but not directly made by Pierce (wagons, pedal cars, Converse 1910 toy car, etc.)

Bob, thanks for clarification on the original red and the “newer” reproduction….I’d like to get one of those repro, too.

If anyone runs across an extra original red, I’d be a buyer, or possibly trade something I have a duplicate of…

It’s funny with Pierce memorabilia, I have hundreds of items, and just when I think I’ve seen it all, something new pops up….

12 display cases chock full of small items, a display case full of bigger items, and then of course the big stuff, ice box, pedal car, wagon, bicycles, Stanhope engine, and so forth.

Guess it sounds like bragging, I’m just passionate about Pierce stuff and rarely get to share it with others….

Alan, I’m waiting to verify engine numbers and see if the engine is correct. Also, it depends somewhat on what he’s asking for the engine, as it would just be bought to “be” with car, I would not plan to rebuild and install.

I’ve always been somewhat of a purist, so I like the idea of having it. Cords are fairly easy to document, and while I’m not a fan of the overused term “matching numbers”, that’s what we’re talking about.

I’m having a little trouble finding the buttons in my storage space, they’ll show up. I have one I’ll send to Ken, and as to more, wait until I can find everything, and I’ll repost.

I have a lot of Pierce stuff that I’ll sell before too long, duplicates that I don’t need.

I’ve had trouble finding stuff lately. Hope it’s not old age, I’d like to think that I’m just so “stuff-rich” that it’s overwhelming!

Then again, my father used to say that his “forgetter is working overtime”….

Sorry, you’ll have to stand on your head to read the one page. I would assume one might print them out to read?

In an interesting side note, the author told me in his “permission” email that he’d just bought a large pile of Cord 810-812 parts, and in the pile is the original engine for my 1937 Cord phaeton! He wonders if I want it. My car was refurbished at the factory in the early 1950’s, with a replacement engine and transmission. When I had the car certified at the ACD festival, I worried about that, the head guy laughed and said maybe half the Cords out there have the wrong engine in them! I think he was exaggerating, but…

OK, I have permission from Jim to post his article, am going to try to do so here, it’s three pages so might be three posts if it works….

Was that meet in the 1960’s? I have some that came out of the estate of an early past President, and most of the other stuff dates to that time frame….

I will, Greg…would like to post here, waiting to hear back from author of piece…

If you’re a member of the ACD Club, there’s a very good article on different types of bulb conversions.

While the Cord 810/812 is highlighted (so to speak), it has information that is general also.

It’s three pages long. I think I’d have to ask permission of the author to scan and post, I’ve sent him an email, if he agrees will do so….
