The Maryland Steamer automobile was manufactured in Luke, Maryland in 1900 and 1901[1][2]

History

The Maryland Automobile Manufacturing company[3] developed a runabout with a two-cylinder vertical steam engine and a chain drive. In December 1900 the factory was blown down by gale force winds. The factory was insured and production continued in 1901.[1] The Company offered bodies as a Tourist Carriage, Runabout, Surrey, Phaeton, Omnibus, Delivery Wagon and Racing Machine. The company was reported in receivership by May 1901.[3] The factory became a bottling plant.[4]
