This was my dads, he worked at this Allis dealer from 1967 to early 1980's when he retired. I worked there assembling Butler bins a couple of summers in the early 70's too but we summer helpers didn't get these sort of things. From the shape it is in I'm sure dad never carried it. I remember he always had a pocket knife on him so he must have decided this would be a souvenir. It will be that for me as well. Tom |

Still looks good.I have a few of them yet from the dealer I worked at over 15 years . They bring good money on e-bay . Nice find. |

i've still got one from my Dad's dealership, Funk Bros. Implement Co., Onarga, IL. It too is a Barlow brand with just black lettering on a white background just like yours. I'll have it forever. If I would happen to find another, I'll send it to Fred for his museum collection.
