Lenanon, IL Sear, Roebuck and Co., Chicago, IL. The Sears Motor Buggy plowed through deep snow and over glassy ice to the lower farm, where I went hunting rabbits. It stood nicely until I got thirteen rabbits, without breaking loose. I didnt even tie it, and it brought me home faster than my horse could. J.PERY SILVER

The Reeves Model P 2-Cylinder Opposed Air Cooled engine. Not sure where this came from. It was included in the Winter 2001 Searsheet put out by Hayden Shepley. It mentions it was also used in the Reeves Model J Go-Buggy.

This is a picture of the original style horn used on the Sears. Kind of a different little horn. I do not know if there were any markings indicating a manufacturer, but if I find out I will update this listing. Please let me know if you know any more about this horn. Thanks to Wayne Sutton for the photo.
