Oh yes, IH built them, Hesston had them, Oliver had them, Dearborn had a 3pt mounted one for Fords, a company called Rust had them (John Rust actually invented the successful mechanical cotton picker), and many more. 
There were quite a few of them back in the day....now it's pretty much just Deere and IH.

Deere model 31. Made in the 30's, and they only made less than 300. They actually had 2, a model 30 and 31. The 30 wasn't galvanized, and the newer 31 was. Supposedly they were all delivered to Texas, but I know a guy who lives near my grandpa who has a 31, and there's another 31 not too far from that one. At any rate, they're very rare. Maybe not valuable, but very rare. 
Here's a video, but like all things Deere, they seem to be having a hard time with it... Lol

I kinda wonder too! I think it just strips everything off and conveys it to the hopper.

Also, for all you guys who aren't in cotton country, here's a very good video about the harvest process. These are cotton strippers, not pickers.
