Monday Mystery, reciprocating saw

I'm guessing this is some sort of ancient power hacksaw, perhaps for some specialized use? No names or markings anywhere. The two level stand with screw adjustment is odd and the little 45° shelf might be part of a missing feed table? Anyways, information and guesses welcomed!

 Nicely done...

Canadian Pacific cruises to Taku

 The cruises are gone, but the glacier remains. 

The artist (Charles James Greenwood) has taken liberty with the "A"s in Canadian Pacific, never seen that font or embellishment.

Duryea Automobile

 Frank Duryea at the wheel of his automobile, 1893. 

In 1895, the Chicago Times-Herald, inspired by the Paris-Rouen Automobile Race, decided they could sell a lot more papers if they too organized and ran an automobile race. They promoted the 14.5 mile Chicago-Evanston race for Thanksgiving Day, 1895. There were ninety five entrants but only six cars showed up on race day, three Benzs, two electrics, and the Duryea. The Duryea ran away with the race, at the eyewatering speed of 6.66 mph.

General Motors Truck

I'd guess a 1937 or '38 model?

 

Truth in advertising...

 Drive a White steam car, and attract mermaids!

Tohatsu Runpet Sport

This looks like a fun little screamer, the polar opposite of the step thru Honda 50 making a name for itself in the US in the early sixties. I don't expect a lot were sold on this continent but see one that survived here.
