The STAVER Carriage Company of Chicago was one of the biggest highwheelers manufacturers.
Production started in 1907. In 1910 STAVER turned his manufacture over to four-cylinder conventional cars.
The emblem is showing a buck´s head with an arrow through its neck.
Their slogan was: THE STAVER IS A STAYER as you can read on the emblem.
Car production ceased in 1914 and the factory was sold to Partin-Palmer.

There was also a quite well made repro made by Harry Pulfer, but they used the wrong red color.
