Early Tractor Umbrella

[Bill Brackemyer]

What style of umbrella would be correct for a CC? Parasol? Were the poles metal or wood? How were they mounted? I have an early wood pole/parasol style skeleton and would like to put a new canvas on it if the size works out. If anyone has a photo of an original setup, I would like to see it.

I saw an old Case one on ebay the other day. Maybe that wouldgiveyou some clues. gobble

I think this is the seat bracket, I believe the umbrella had a wood pole, but i think ours is gone.

Here is the pole/frame I have. Recovered it and one other that was too far gone out of an old barn that I tore down. The bad one had remnants of an old advertising canvas. The one I have has eight ribs. What I've seen online and on TractorUmrellas.com all have six ribs. Could this one have been for an early horse drawn implement? The bottom of the pole has a metal end with a little cam on it that looks like it would have locked into a base.

I think that is the same pole as was with the bracket I have, but it has been a long time since I've seen it..
