Single could be 1912 model A or a bit later. Twin 1913 mod D or a bit later.

Single is a Model B bought as a 1916 bike, but different people have suggested it is 1915 or maybe a 1914 bike.

Twin is a 550 cc Model A thought to be a 1916 machine.

Twin has a few wrong bits on it, I made the steel exhaust system and the running boards for it many years ago, nowhere near original looking but they did allow us to have the bike running and take it to shows.

It would be nice to be able to prove the year of these bikes.

The bikes did not change much until after WW one. You cannot really judge from a picture also after 100 years there's bound to be some wrong bits for what ever numbers prove. Year and model can be confirmed by numbers.
