Would that be a Model R Ford? The Ts hadn't invaded the parade yet.
When did I do that?

Re: Old Photo- July 4 1911
Doesn't look like a Maxwell radiator to me. It does look a lot like the NRS radiator, but I am not convinced it is, although I think it is. It has full elliptic front springs, but I have seen a few original era photos showing that accessory on NRS cars. I don't see any running boards on it, so my guess is a model N.

Well it doesn't seem to have a water pump mounted in the radiator. Could be Maxwell.
When did I do that?

Re: Old Photo- July 4 1911
Summary -- I think Charley is correct - 2 cylinder Maxwell
Additional ramblings:
A better photo would always be nice. Note, based on Charley's comments, I looked up Maxwell. They had a tubular front axle (so did the 1903-1905 2 cylinder Fords) but the N, R, S, & SR had an I-beam style front axle that looks very similar to the Model T Ford one piece front spindle axle used 1909-early part of 1911. And I think the car in the photo has a tubular front axle.
As pointed out in the previous posting it does NOT have the water pump mounted in the lower part of the radiator like the N, R, S, & SR cars but if you zoom in you can see what appears to be a Maxwell feature where a water pump would be located on and N,R,S, or SR. Below is a 1909 Maxell -- (but it had running boards) note the radiator at the middle bottom has what appears to be a support for the crank? (Photo from: https://www.paledog.de/Automobile/veter ... t.jpg.html we think we are in the fair use rules -- i.e. education/research. If I am not -- please let me know).
Respectfully submitted,
