hi. i came across this umbrella when cleaning out an out building of a relative who passed away. it's pretty interesting. i have no idea od the year or value, if they're collectible or what it was used for. i just thought it was neat so i brought it home.


the umbrella is about 5 1/2 feet tall and 4-5' wide(in one of the pic's i'm standing beside it and i'm 6'1"). it works great and has no tears our holes, just a little wear and some discoloration of the fabric. i don't know how to clean it up or if i should.


i'd like to find out some info on it. my relative does have records of a mccormick-deering tractor purchase in 1924. i'm guessing this was for that tractor but don't know.


i'd appreciate any info you could give me on it. any help would be nice.
 
it does have the logo on it. white with blue logo. i tried to post pic's but since i'm not a regular user i couldn't.
 
yes i do. the system didn't let me post them because i'm not a regular member and i guess it won't let me post pic's until i've been on awhile or something. i can certainly email some to anyone who wants them.
 
i'll try tp post pic's again.......

I spent many hours sitting under one of those while cultivating. That is older than the one we had but IH had many different ones through the years.

Before tractor cabs became popular you would see a lot of them. Umbrellas in the summer, HeatHousers® in the winter.
