An
interesting old badge courtesy of Joe Rae of Beith. The Deering Harvester
Co produced this badge and a book for the Paris Grand Prix in 1900.
In 1902, they with three smaller firms, merged with their largest rival
The McCormick Harvester Co, to form The International Harvester Co Ltd.
A 24" diam. sign of the same design was on display outside a former blacksmiths premises in Hexham, Northumberland, C1973. |

This
postcard was sent to the Baird's at Number 1 Loudoun Street in Mauchline.
Does anyone have any idea where the building is / was?? Walter A Wood
comes up with quite a lot of entries on Google. Is this a local place
that sold Walter A Wood harvesting machines, or is this somewhere farther
afield??

This
images shows some kind of a celebration. Which Coronation or Jubilee
is this likely to be. Is it anywhere near Mauchline?? From the Baird
collection. It looks very similar to the side of the Walter Wood building
above!! The same photo appears in James Taylor's Muirkirk collections
amongst the Carnival of 1916!! |
