Deering binding attachment.

[Richard Hare]

Another Q for you guys!

In the bush, I found a binding attachment (for a grain binder) It is marked "Deering Mfg Co, Chicago"

When would this be made?
It is different looking to my McCormick-Deering type D, and doesn't have any "IHC" marks.

It has a different trip arrangement, more like Massey Harris had later. Knotter looks very much the same in principle to the Type D though.

Near it, was some burned up wood and iron, but it didn't look like binder parts to me.
Does anyone know where I might see a picture of what it would look like when complete?

Thanks for looking, and your time!!

Richard.

Might it have been from a corn binder?

JP Morgan created IHC and its McCormick-Deering trade name in 1902. If it just says Deering Mfg. on it, it's pre-IHC.

no Tim, ih built both kinds for years so their dealers that were located in the same town. mcormick and deering dealers had different lines to sell. they didn't throw half the dealers away like the last merger.ih made titan tractors for some dealers to sell and mogul tractors for others. they even built milwaukee equipment long after the merger.

Maybe I'm misinformed, but I was told after 1902, the various brand names carried "International Harvester, Chicago" on the manufacture tag.

Rabbit,

Not much chance it was from a Corn binder, as it is up in Western Canada, and it's hard to get corn finished up here. Frost nearly always wins.

Re, the IHC logo;

After the merger, wouldn't machinery carry the IHC stamp, even if the original name continued to be used?
Example;
I have a Deering Giant mower, (New Ideal) made I gather between 1906 and 1912, but it has the IHC logo on it as well.

Thanks for the input!

the last patent date on my 'deering' grain binder is 1908. my 'millwaukee' reaper has ihc on the castings.
