The Minerva looks like a bargain at $80k. Anyone know what that object is along the left side in front of the door that looks like a wicker quiver?
The object is just an outboard wicker umbrella holder.
The Boa constrictor bulb horn graces the right wing.
The Minerva, often called the “finest car to come out of Belgium”, was the longest lived of that country’s high-quality marques. Its founder was Sylvain de Jong, a Dutchman and former journalist who had been making cycles under the names Minerva and Romania. He started building motor tricycles in 1899 and exhibited a prototype voiturette and light van at the Antwerp Cycle Show that same year.
Thank you Marc, very helpful.
