Brought home some IH collectables

This is just like the old coffee shop, which was like the old coffee shop down the street. Pull up a chair, sit down and enjoy some good discussions. Please, no political, religious or racial posts.

Brought home some IH collectables

Post by OhioBinder »

My brother and myself have been cleaning out dads house off and on all winter. There were 2 items my brother didn't have a chance at, no question about it they were going to my house.
The first is a model of the original 1831 reaper.

In 1931 IHC made some full size replica's of the original reaper to be used as display models, they also made some scale sized ones as well. this is one of those, it is about 28-30" long.
Dad bought it off a guy from Georgia-Carolina's or somewhere from the part of the country about 20 years ago, he brought it to Portland show for dad. A friend of dad's then made him a display case for it.
I have never seen another one.
The other item is this sign

It is a hanging sign model after a planter box, lighted and is about 40" long.
