I don’t like to use the term “rare” very often but this is a rare original sales catalog from John Deere titled “John Deere Quality Farm Equipment and How to Use It” It is likely from 1923/4 and is a full line catalog presenting in great detal all of the products they offered at the time. It measures about 9 x 12 inches and is 160 pages long. It is Series D13 and content includes the 15-27 tractor, their Model E engines, pump jacks, corn shellers, plows, potato machinery, wagons, planters, manure spreaders, listers, hay machinery, harrows, grape and berry hoe, elevators, drills, disk tiller, cultivators, corn picker, combines, cement mixer, seeders, binders, and the beet lifters. The list just goes on! It has photos of all of John Deere’s various production facilities around the country at the time. It is in good condition for it’s age with minor wear, staining and soiling and a few slight tears but nothing that takes away from the information it contains. The last 50 pages have come loose from the binding in various sized groups but they are all there and in good shape. It is HEAVILY illustrated with great detailed photos and would be a great reference piece for the John Deere or early machinery collector. It is a wealth of information and it would be a fine addition to your reference library. The pictures tell the story. I can’t ever remember seeing another one and may many years before another one surfaces! You won’t be disappointed in any way. I can always be reached at 262 573 1931 if you’d like to talk about it.
