Here is a strange question! The round plastic medallion on the front of my 400 is badly faded. The eagle and the globe are still bright and shiny gold and silver, but the sunburst in the back ground is completely gone so the back ground is clear.-- as is the outside ring. I was going to try to paint on a new back ground but don't know the original color of the sunburst. I think the outside ring is silver. Can someone look at their 400 and determine how I should paint my medallion background?

Jeff, I am sitting here looking a a bran new original medallion I found in some new old parts I bought a while back. It is still in its felt bag and the original box. It is probably worth about as much as I gave for the entire loot of parts. On this one the sunburst is light gold. The globe is a brownish gold, and the eagles brest is a darker bronze looking gold. The eagle has a yellow bright eye and a silver trim around its body and including the globe. The eagles head is a lighter gold than its breast, and shinny like a wedding ring. It is really a beautiful piece of work.

Thanks JRT, yours is definately different than mine. I painted the back ground sunburst a medium gold and it looks pretty good. My globe (which has the original finish) was a flat aluminum color and the raised CASE letters were chrome. The Eagle was chrome silver feet and head, the breast was wedding ring gold.

To casepoor; The blue color I guess was a sky burst you might say, I think Case must have been tinkering around with different motiffs of the emblems,most do seem to have the gold sunburst, but the eagles were different, some a gold chrome.like jeff's, other with a bronze or copper colored eagle that could be different shades of dark or light colors, my 300 had an original that was all chrome, even the rays were a matte chrome, had a few cracks though. You have a valuable commodity there with 3 nos. I don't live too far from you here in Md.

I just wanted to be a little more clear on the one on my tractor. The chest of the eagle is a very shinny gold, the eagles head and the globe are chrome silver (and in nice bright condition). The sunburst and outer ring are completely flaked off and are near clear now. My tractor is a model 401, is a 1955, sn 8063500.

Hey Jeff; most of the rays were gold (yellow color) but some of the early ones had a blue sky with a chrome colored ring around the out side like the eagle. Some of the early ones had a blue sky though, bet that would look good on that one. Hope this helps. Roger

Thanks Roger, there are traces of the chrome around the outside so I think that the blue would be a good pick. This tractor is a 1955 and I just recently aquired it. I learned to drive tractor on a 400, my grandfather purchased a 1955 diesel new (he traded in an Oliver 77 diesel). Then my dad had a later one but I couldn't remember the colors of the medallion.
About the blue background, was it a lighter "sky blue" color (like in the horizon), almost white, or more a baby blue?
Thanks for replying!

Jeff; I never seen one with the blue back ground,have only heard about it, I did paint one for a customer and used a medium blue for him and he said it was a good shade of blue. He was a former case dealer. My phone # 301-223-9005
