[AJD] 1-B Corn Sheller/Update

[Richard E. Garrett]

GREG,
You are probably looking at a #1-A. They were galvanized, had red, and 
were made from 1924 to 1936, when they were replaced by the #1-Bs.  
Before the #1-A, the #1, made from 1916 to 1924, was iron and wood, 
and I believe red, but I can't prove that, because again I have no 
color pictures.
Thanks, Richard
