The company was started no earlier than December, according to the articles linked in another comment. Very real possibility that no pics or semi-finalized CAD design even exist yet at this point.

Yes.

I don't think 25$ reservation slots are going to pay for a full assembly line.
$25 is too low. $25 feels like "no one will go after the guy if the money just disappears".
Slate was $50.
the hat claims that it was started in 1905?
The original reo went bankrupt in 1967 and after series of mergers ended up as part of the truck company diamond reo. Diamond reo then had difficulties and stopped production in 1995. This reo is wholly unrelated, except the guy who started it bought the trademark.

I still own a Diamond Rio Volt SP250 MP3-playing portable CD player. How does that fit into this non-timeline? (I bought it in 2001 if that matters.)
The founding date for the original REO. I don't think they have an unbroken line back to the original
These new guys don't. The descendant of the original REO is Nucor Steel. REO owned a steel roofing company, and through a strange chain of events, that unit became the biggest steel company in the US.[1]
