Anyone know the model or year on this early Indian motorcycle?
Side marked with "Indian, Hendee Mfg. Co., Springfield Mass."
The image is an AZO photo postcard that dates from about 1905- 1918.
It looks like the owner had a minor accident-- the side shows some scrapes and a large dent near the back.

Thanks.

Thanks kerry, I appreciate your input. I saw a picture of one from 1909 that looked very similar.

Nice photo Scott!
Indian's first year for their V-twin was 1907, but this loop frame was first used by Indian in 1909. In 1913 rear suspension was used. I'd also put it in the '09-'12 range, probably 1909 due to the tank graphic style & no front suspension.
Thanks for showing your photo!
Thanks for looking and narrowing down the year nick!
