Ralph, You have opened yet another can of BK worms in the 1/16th scale In the pics. that I posted there are the two original Ertle models that were sent to us when we placed our orders for our 870 GD and our 870BK.

Produced in limited numbers, seeing one Demonstrator tractors is a rare event". The other end of the box tells a brief history of the 1470 which was produced from 1968-1972, and rated at 144HP.
