I have this speedometer listed on e-bay as a 1919 t0 1925 Stewart 160. But I just noticed the trip reset wheel. The book shows the trip reset to be a small rod sticking thru the dash bracket. I do not want to mis-represent it if it is not as stated. It is also a 2-1/2 to 1 ratio.

I think I may have found my own answer. I think it is a Stewart model 102. for 1915 to 1918. The book states it mounts on the firewall or a Stewart supplied dash. I have the Stewart wood dash for the cars with no dash and it fits perfectly

About 1917. There should be a date code between the words "miles per hour" and the bottom. The swivel will fit many years, for that matter so will the speedo head.

No Mine does not have the nickel plate, but it fits the above wood aftermarket dash perfectly ... I do not see a date code on it anywhere ...

The date code (year) is a letter, I think yours is a "J" but it's hard to tell for sure in just the above photo. Take another look.
"J" year is 1917
Example;
G = 1914
H = 1915
I = 1916
J = 1917
K = 1918
and so on.

Donnie, it looks like your date code is "J" which would date it to 1917.

I found the date code It is J They did not want a blind old man to see it. A black letter on a black face ...??? That makes it a 1917 and I think the dash I have came out in 1917. From a earlier thread I had about the dash, I believe the wood Stewart dashes came out in 1916 and the speedometer was in the center, and changed to the right side in 1917. .... I ended the e-bay auction as this speedometer will not work with the 1919-25 style dash trim piece. I guess Ill re-list it as a 1915 to 1918 with the wood dash listed at the same time. I believe the wood dash should be correct for the 15s and 16s also as the wood dash was an aftermarket item designed to put speedometers in cars with no dash.
