This particular model is all-original and was probably manufactured around 1910. This Stanhope features side-mounted leaf springs on the body undercarriage, a trunk, running boards (steps), and dashboard. The leather seat could accommodate one or two passengers. Stanhope carriages were popular “sporting” carriages and were typically used for short trips since they were open to the elements. If you want to mention something about condition, based on the photos alone I would say that it's in “good/very good” condition with light wear on leather seat. " |
