Description
These five vintage photographs capture the muscle of early agriculture: steam traction engines and threshing tractors at work and on display. The prints themselves are mid-century (circa 1940s to 1950s), while the machines pictured date to the late 19th to early 20th century.
Each snapshot shows useful detail: wide canopies, spoked drive wheels, boiler fronts, and belt-drive setups. Because of their clarity and variety, they’re great for collectors, restorers, and industrial décor. Frame them as a set, gift them to a tractor fan, or file them for research.
Condition: Good (G). Clean, displayable images with light curl from storage, mild edge/corner wear, a few handling specks; one photo has a small rust-colored edge stain. No tears noted.
What you’ll receive: the exact lot shown: 5 original photographs (not modern reprints).
