Owner Remarks: "The 1915 Milburn owner's card gives an engine number of 458708 and a Manufacturer's number of 26387.  This is something of an unusual car--it now has plywood fenders.  I myself do not know the story of the car and very little information is in the file.  I will see if anybody here remembers its background story.  At the moment it is in our storage building and buried a bit, so I would need time to verify those numbers."

Research Notes (by Myles Twete):    Listed in 1957 Registry as a 1916, 2HP, 4pass coupe owned by A. Atwater Kent.
