That's a tough one. With the kerosene side light it's around 1910 or so, but without seeing the grill/radiator it's hard for me to get much better. That line between the hood and the front cowl is distinctive, but doesn't ring a bell. You might post this on the AACA 'what is it' forum:

Yea, not a lot of visual cues to go on there. But you gotta love a challenge!
That folded down windshield and cowl looks kind of like the same on this 1914 Chalmers
Back then, those windshields (and lights, and tops, etc.) were often supplied by 3rd parties. I wish that Chalmers had that 'step' between the cowl and hood...
While it doesn't help much, the photo was taken pre-1919 and probably post 1912. I originally thought it might be the Buick that my grandfather purchased in 1910, but it doesn't compare well with photos I've seen of Buicks of that vintage.
Maybe an Overland? Here's a 1912:

I vote for the Overland, the cowl is the key. Looks like Overland went electric for 1914, so it would have different side lamps. This could then be 1912-13.
I've found some photos of the 1910 Overland 38 that looks quite close, though the depth of the cowl compared to the width of the door is greater on this car. What I hadn't noticed until now is that the steering wheel is on the right side, which is consistent with the Overland.
Thanks folks for the assistance!
Agreed on the vehicle. The angle is different in the photos, but those are dead ringers for one another. Even with the difference in angle, the fenders are absolutely carbon copies.
