I have also looked for info on old horse drawn equipment. It is hard to find specific info. I did find a book titled Encyclopedia of Antique Farm Implements. This book gives a lot of information, including some on Rock Island. Lots and lots of pictures, mostly black and white but quite a few in color. No color Rock Island planter pictures but at least you can get an idea of colors used on this type equipment. There are some black and white pictures of 2 different types Rock Island planters and their approximate dates. Book is available on amazon.com for about $20.

I have recently purchased a horse drawn sulky single bottom plow made by Rock Island. The company was aquired by J.I. Case several decades ago. Case has a heritage society and I have asked them about similar questions, especially paint scheme. No response yet. I have several books on antique farm machinery which I got from Amazon but they are not very helpful. I did find a publication on plows only which is not available and is out of print. It was in the private collection of a dealer of antique machinery in Ontario, WI. Happy hunting.
