Todd,  No markings on them, but they were from an old IH store in Honey Grove, Texas.  I suppose they could be from any where and not IH at all.

Thanks


Larry

How you found anything to confirm they are IH? I was thinking that could just as easily be NAPA blue, or Car Quest?blue?from some parts cabinet that these stores give to dealers and garages. We had a Delco-Remy cabinet that was blue. 
Blue wasn't a very prominent color for IH, just on some implement parts. Most of the old parts bins and such that I have seen were gray or red or white. I would also think that by the time plastics became popular to use for something like that, would have been after IH quit using blue entirely.
Just throwing out some other possibilities.

JIm,  Thanks,  No marking on them. Yes, they do look like drawer dividers.  I 
guess I thought that would be to obvious...and, at one level, surprised that IH 
would special drawer dividers made just for themselves...but, I guess, at 
another level, they did a fair amount of things like that.

Thanks again.

Larry,
The list will only let very small attachments through.  I reduced the ones 
you sent to 1/2 size and stuck on a web page:

http://home1.gte.net/res0gehp/images/Picture078.jpg
Anybody should be able to see them now.  One is pretty blurry but the other 
is decent.  I don't know what they are, look like drawer dividers to me too. 
Are there any markings on them?  I can't see any.
