Separator patented May 31st 1910. Serial #15796
Our family is trying find any information on this thresher and
value. It has been under cover and original. I can send a
photo also. if anyone has information it would be greatly
appreciated.

I'd advertise it well and get it on a auction. Not everybody wants one but it sure has a market. let me know if I can help.

Where would you suggest I advertise the Kid? I posted a photo of it in the implement photo section. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

To bad yoy are so far from Indiana-Ohio area. I think I could find a market for it without to much problems to go into use. Some of the Amish around still use them all the time. Fact is I would like to locate for one of then an operators manual for a later all steel Avery machine that he just bought this summer to use.

What is the difference between a Yellow Kid and what I hear referred to in my area for the Averys as a Yellow Baby? Thanks

I think the difference is that the Yellow Kids are smaller machines, usually for the small threshing rings or single farm operation. They also made the Yellow Fellow which was bigger machines such as 32 or 36 in. cylinder machines for custom operators. I believe these machines were made of wood. Sometime in the late teens or early 20's they went to steel machines.
