Adriance
Platt Salesman Sample Sickle Bar Mowing Machine in Original Box This 19th
century salesman sample / display model of a Jones sickle bar mowing machine is all original and in super nice condition.
Salesman Sample or display model hay mowing machines are an exact copy of the full size machine they were copied from, right
down to miniature nuts and bolts, working mower and transmission and cast iron
seat. It is an amazing piece of craftsmanship. SIZE: 18″ w x 21″ l The box has instructions in the lid for the salesman with special mention to not let children near it. Adriance - Platt was formed in Poughkeepsie, NY” in 1882. Adriance first went into business with Samuel P. Platt and Samuel W. Sears, operating Sears, Adriance & Platt, a wholesale hardware company. Adriance, Platt & Co. was formed later and the company was bought out by Moline (Illinois) Plow Co. in 1913 thus dating this piece between those dates.
The model / salesman sample mowing machine was operable, and is very graphic. It looks great. The lever for the transmission needs some attention and right now is not operable. Note the ratcheting springs in each wheel. Look at all the pics to see all the different adjusters, fittings and more that this salesman sample / display model has. This rare & desirable antique salesman sample is a great piece of Americana and farming related history. Nice!!

Jones Salesman Sample
Sickle Bar Mowing Machine This 19th century
salesman sample / display model of a Jones sickle bar mowing machine is all original
and in super nice condition.
The gold finish is close to perfect and original. I had one of these 20
years ago that was not in nearly as nice condition. Salesman Sample or display
model hay mowing
machines are an exact copy of the full size machine they were copied from, right
down to miniature nuts and bolts. It is an amazing piece of
craftsmanship. Note
how the miniature cut out cast iron seat has the name Jones in the the design
just like the full size machine would. A distinctive feature of the jones
Mower design is the chain drive design, not gear driven as most mowers of the
era were. "Jones" was the name of one of the founders and the original President of the Plano company W.H. Jones. This maker of farming implements was initially located in Plano Illinois which is in Kendall County IL. The Plano Manufacturing Company was formed in March of 1881 and manufactured horse-drawn farm implements of all kinds including rakes, plows, tedders, and more. In 1893 the manufacturing facility was moved to West Pullman IL (south Chicago), and in 1902 they joined up with the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co. & the Deering Harvester Co. to form the International Harvester Company.
The model / salesman sample mowing machine is operable, very graphic, and looks great. Look at all the pics to see all the different adjusters, fittings and more that this salesman sample / display model has. This rare & desirable antique salesman sample is a great piece of Americana and farming related history. Nice!!

J. D. Adams Salesman Sample Road Grader This is the
real deal. It is very graphic and looks great. This engineering company hailed from Indianapolis IN. This
is a very complicated piece of machinery. I am not totally sure, but was told there are some missing pieces
/ springs to hold
the lower grader portion at different angles. Look at all the pics to see all the different gear
boxes, adjusters, fittings and more that this has. This rare & desirable c. 1910 salesman's sample measures
approx. 10.25" H x 8.5" W x 22.5" L.The operator would stand on the grate at the rear and have to control all the different wheels and levers as the grader was being pulled along. Nice!!
