The one with the globe was used only in 1901. That one looks similar in color and style. I have never seen that decal before.

I’ll look for my real one……having just moved it may take me a while to find it.

Almost 95 percent of the watches you find will be modified/incorrect/fake. That said, they are fun. Also 99percent of the watch fobs are also fake. They were made by the “Fob of the month club” and were rather well done. Unless you have an original they are had to tell apart. The fake market basically ruins the “real” market.

We always run a secondary oil line to thr timing chain over stock. Seagrave did this to both the eight and twelve. We change out the felt seal for a modern oil seal, and then run an external oil line from thr engine block oil gallery directly onto the chain. We run a regulated “pill” on thr end of thr fixture to keep it from dumping too much oil. Works great, and ends the issue of lack of lubrication to thr chain. Cislak use to sell the upgrade parts, and would even modify the cover also, thus it would become a “bolt on” kit you could install. All my cars have them.

What kind of brake, coaster brakes dictate year and many were changed. 1900, 1901, and 1902 bikes must have the right wheel hubs and bearings to bring the money……many do not.

Restored is less valuable than original………by about 50 percent………..

Shaft drive women’s is a twenty five to fifty percent discount over male……….

Color, hubs, rims, handlebars, pedals, and breaks also effect value………..

Email me a photo and info and I’ll try and place a value on it. I have a 1901 Shaft Drive in the Collection………

I know the cub cadet set up has been used on a decent size six……a Wiinton. If there is a jack shaft like Gr g asked that would also be a good option. The engine on these early cars are low compression and the starters have no problems spinning the engine. Running a mag with a pulse also makes them start easy with a crank. The trick is to set it up right, and run avgas to prevent bad fuel. Most any engine is easy to crank when set up correctly……..99 percent of them are not. Also, as long as the timing is set to always fire AFTER top dead center, it is impossible for it to kick back. Thus no danger to life and limb…….just exercise!

Running a flat belt starter around the flywheel works well and is very popular with the brass guys. The run a cub cadet starter generator and a 12v gel cell battery and the unit keeps it charged. You only need to add a starter button somewhere and the entire unit is self contained. It’s easy to mount the starter and battery to the frame. As long as you can access the flywheel it shouldn’t be too difficult. I have no clue wheat a Pierce truck set up looks like.

Reproduction units were made from plastic in the 80’s. Nothing since. They are difficult to find…….expect to pay in the 250-300 range when found. Look at Hershey and you may get lucky……

Pierce Arrow cars do NOT have glove box doors……..they have dash cabinets. 🤔

Hershey is like the lottery, sometimes you get lucky……..I was happy to pick up the jacks and handles I needed from Karl, and found the two items I desperatly needed……..I paid retail…….with a smile, as I would have paid more. Fact is, finding most parts today is getting close to impossible……if you see something you need, buy it.

Very sad…….Uncle Ernie was great fun to visit and tour with, and always had a smile and a kind word. He very generously shared his collection with me when I was just a long haired skinny kid visiting California for the first time.May he Rest In Peace. Ed

No such luck Dave………..just having some fun. Thanks for delivering the crate. I did find a few cool things. Nothing that was Pierce related.

Rumor? What rumor? 😎

I saw very little Pierce Arrow parts……and much of what I saw was there for the last few years. I would call 95 percent of what I saw as picked over. Usually the PAS is your best bet to find what you need……Hershey is more like a lottery and once and a while you get lucky.

The parts car sold to someone in Western Pennsylvania, the 32 Bracket Light Car has the archer stolen on the field. The 35 Club Sedan sold to a first time owner in South Carolina.

The above car was on Facebook for sale in Michigan a few months ago. I have only seen one other Pierce is such a terrible condition. It couldn’t be described as a parts car……just rusty scrap iron.

The 1935 Club Sedan sold……to a non Pierce Society member, he will join at the tent tomorrow!👍

On the field…..
