Baker Engine on a old poster

[mank10]

I hope someone a can help me out on this. I have a 16x20 print of a Baker engine Threshing with a Case thresher. The men are pitching bundles from both sides of the belt and the bundle racks are being pulled by horses. I think this picture was taken at a show in the 50's or early 60's??? and is a print that was sold is titled "Old Time Threshing" The Engine is a Baker with the name of the owner Paul Raum,and Son Hamilton Ohio????? Anyone have info on this engine or if it still exists, I see this print on ebay all the time.I have this hanging in my bathroom. Thank you in advance. Mark

Mank, I have the same print hanging in our den too. And if you look in the tree line, theres what looks to me, to be an early 50's, Plymouth car.
Also I think the load on the right hand side is on an old truck. I'd bet that it was someone in th early, to mid 50's, just doing a little thrashing, like we here ever yr, or so.
I also have a tin sign, of an Avery undermount, with the Avery Steam lift plows. My wife has it hid somewhere though. Said there was too much stuff hangin on the walls.

I also have that picture & have had it for sometime. If you really look there is lots to see in that picture.To the left of the Baker is a Allis Chalmers A or E tractor.I think I know where the engine is ,but doing some research before I make any false statements. Bill

The Picture you are descibing was taken about 1964 just northwest of Cincinnati Ohio on the Raisch Farm..The engine is still around but not sure where ..Men in photo are Roselle Raisch with his dad ..Boys are Mike Raisch of Brookville Indiana fame and one of Mikes cousins..The Raisch family threshed very late using steam and tractor..Roselle had a threshing ring around Glenwood Indiana into the later50'S and they had sawmill with steam on it into the late 60' or early 70's..even burned it down once..think it had Case on it at the time..Bill Raish was away in college at the time of this threshing or he would have been in pic too..Roselle was Bill's father..

The engine in the picture is a 21-75 its serial number is 17507.(It was in a fire and sent back to the factory for a rebuild.Its original serial number was 17307.) In 1962 or so it was bought by John McDowell. He ran it untill 1984 or so when he got his 23-90. Right around 2000 or so Dan Rufener bought the engine from him. Currently the engine is in the middle of a boiler rebuild.
