OH, 19--(ca. 1900-1920). Specimen. Odd shs, Capital Stock, green. Ohio state coat of arms on left. The Rauch and Lang Carriage Company was located in Cleveland, Ohio and began their business by creating carriages and coaches. The Rauch and Lang automobiles were electrically powered and often adorned with luxurious amenities. The electric motor provided benefits over the gas-powered engine. Starting the automobile was easy, especially when compared with the runimentary means of spinning a crank to start an electric motor. The electric motor was quiet and did not produce fumes. The draw-back was that it could only travel a short distance before requiring a recharge. From 1905 through 1916 they produced automobiles. The automobiles they produced, both open and closed versions, were expensive and purchased mostly by rich urban women. In 1916 they merged with Baker Electric and became known as Baker, Rauch & Lang Company. In 1922 the company was moved to Chicopee Falls, MA where they became known as Rauch & Lang Electric Car Manufacturing Company. Early automobile manufacturer. Extremely rare. Only 2 found in archive.
