Horse Drawn Equipment Catalog 1899

Shawn Rogers · #1 10-24-2009, 01:47 PM

I recently came across a catalog from the Adriance Platt & Company, Poughkeepsie, NewYork. It shows horse drawn mowers and reapers, lots of pictures of the nachines and the parts to repair them. My question is, are there any of these machines left? Some of the named mentioned are Buckeye and Triumph.

Shawn,

If I remember right there were a few examples of A&P machines at the Canandaigua show when the feature was NY state equipment. Just as a side note, Poughkeepsie has the Adriance Memorial Library and a couple of roads named for both Adriance and Platt. Of course the most famous name out side of the area was Vassar. Noted for the college and Vassar Bros. Hospital. What most don't know was they made their money with their brewery.

It took a lot of beer to provide those girls with an education.
