<HTML>Friends, the Gocek's (Vintage Brass Works) are developing a list to produce a run of 20HP 5 hole Rushmores. They need 4 orders to begin production, anyone interested? Also looking for people requiring the 3 tier sidelights. Estimated production date unknown - but it sounds like 3+ years.
Thanks,

<HTML>Hi Ben, as you know I am no expert by any means - Mark Herman and Ron both identified the Rushmores by the number of holes (5 for the 20hp cars), in addition to the diameter of the front covers - which are the 9" as I am told for the Model R and other 20HP applications (I am not sure if the 9" is slang for 9 3/4 e.t.c., or if its 9.00 inches). I was told that when the required # of orders are taken, the serial #s and mirror lettering details will be finalized.

<HTML>Stanley season catalogs: Stanley cars 1909-1912 were shown with Rushmore flare front headlights.
The Rushmore Searchlight catalog has this information:
Rushmore headlights were made in two different types: Plain Front and Flare Front.
The flare front door diameters for the sizes went like such:

B: 9 1/4" 7"
C: 10" 8"
D: 11 3/8" 9"
