Dial M for Mystery (update: 1923-25 Maxwell)
Sure, a good design makes a car, but badges and logos give it that little more distinction, too. Oh, how lovely can it be to find that one little piece of brass you have been looking for so long! The sheer weight of it, those lovely enamel colours, even the stone chips in it! But the sign of a certain breeding can also prove to be an utter mystery.
Our Swedish friend Stig Fransson in fact has bumped into one such mystery. Stig will be able to tell you anything about french Talbots. Or about Edwardian Renaults. But a set of axles have now completely stumped him. These axles have centres showing an 'M', and like Stig you will know that this leaves us with several hundreds of options. Still, we have a feeling that this material could be US made. Moon perhaps? Stig presumes they are of 1910-1920-vintage. What do you think? If you like to discuss this matter with Stig, go here. But of course you can drop us a line in a comment, too.

I have a few early 1920's Maxwell servicesheets. One of them has detailed front- and rearaxle illustrations.
I can send copies to Stig if he wants.
editor: you can contact Stig through his advert. There is a link at the bottom of the story

Car had very flat straight front axle and was equipped with disk wheels and external rear brakes. I know you can see that but brings it to front of brain for identification.

I am unable to connect directly with Stig but his Dial M for Mystery axle appears to be a Maxwell from 1923-1925. The front wheel hubcaps which this appears to be are smaller at 2 11/16" diameter. The rear wheel cap is larger at 3" diameter.
