I dug up an old plow share on our property. It measures about 14.5" across the top, and is stamped with the old IHC logo, "Chilled" and 0-566 DS. Through the (amazing) information on this forum, I understand this to be a chill-cast share for an International Harvester, of the type for rocky/hard soil.
I'd really like to date this share to help with a historical timeline of the property. It still has blue paint. Based on the logo (discontinued in 1946?) and the paint color, I think this may date from 1939-1942. There is a photo here:

Can anyone confirm my detective work? Thanks in advance for any further info -- and for all the knowledge already posted here!
