LOCOMOBILE (US) 1903-1929 In 1899 partners Barber and Walker purchased rights to the steam car designs owned by the Stanley Brothers. After this partnership dissoved, Walker then established this marque. The first vehicles were steam powered, but Walker sold the patent rights back to the Stanleys soon after. Walker then introduced production of an expensive gasoline powered car. Financial difficulties occured in 1920 . Crane-Simplex then acquired the firm for a short period of time before it was owned by Mercer as part of the Hare Group. And again it was sold to the Durant Manufacturing Group in 1922. Unfortunately the Great Depression in the late 1920s caused this struggling company to finally cease production permanently. The only known model in small scale was made by High Speed . It is a 1915 Town Coupe that carries # HF9090. It was available via Readers Digest as a promotional in about 2000. Edited by DaWeber, Apr 4 2009, 06:24 PM.

Welcome to the Garage!  I'm afraid I can't help you with the values, but judging from what I've seen on the forums they generally don't trade for much second hand, unfortunately.
