Never having seen this, I dropped the picture into Google images and
discovered this is:

"Dayton-Wright RB-1 (Rinehart-Bauman model one), also known simply as
the Dayton-Wright Racer"

One of the first aircraft that incorporated retractable landing gear.

Here is more information.

Thanks for the post Mitchell.
