Folks,

Ran across an option to buy what appears to be a horse drawn 1 row
JD & Mansur planter.

1-Can anyone tell me year and model?

2-What would something like this be worth (As is vs. Restored)?

The seed canister covers go for around $60-$100 on eBay but I can
find anything out there on this. Thanks for your time!

I don?t know but I?d sure like to have that to plant my corn this spring . It?s got to be pretty to say Deere and mansur I would think because John Deere bought that planter company around John Deere?s time I think? I could be off on that and I don?t have my history book here with me
 
I have two of those lids with the frame that they are mounted to. The patent dates are cast into the inside of the lids. The dates are in the 1890's I think. If I can remember, I'll look at one of them today.

By the way - does anyone know the original color of the Deere-Mansur planter? They all appear to have a hint of red on them, but it might just be the rust that I'm seeing.
 
PJH, thanks. Any/all info you can get would be huge. All I've found since the post is that in 1877 they started production of planters in Moline, IL under the Deere and Mansur name until it was absorbed into John Deere Co. in 1910. The person is checking for numbers and if all the parts are moving on it. I'm also looking at pricing. It's going for $250. While I would love to think it's worth way more, I need more info before I attempt to make the drive and purchase.
 
SVcummins, thanks for the reply. Check my other reply regarding suspected dates, but confirmation via your history book would prove helpful, to include original color, etc.
 
Hawkeye - Cast on the inside of my lids:

Patented Nov. 28, 1893

Reissued July 23, 1895

Patented Sept. 10, 1901
