Oliver corn plow

I read an auction listing from the 1930's and it listed an Oliver corn plow. What is it? Also listed was a double shovel plow. Can anyone tell me what that is also?

If you search double shovel plow, there are pictures. A corn plow? Regional description?

Oliver made a variation of the 134B single bottom plow they referred to as a European Corn Borer plow. Had a larger coulter and an oversized moldboard for deep plowing to control ECB which was running rampant around that time. Looked kinda like a brush breaker plow with a light frame. Without pictures to know what plow you’re referring to it could be one of those. Otherwise the only thing I can think of is a regional term for some sort of cultivator. A picture is worth 1000 words.

Here are a couple of pictures from 2010 on this site.

Growing up in NW Iowa back in the 1950's I heard several people use the term "corn plow" to refer to what most everyone else called a mounted cultivator.
