Some more glass negatives for the lot I purchased last weekend in mid state Wisconsin. Some real nice and crisp photos of farmers at work. Excellent tractor shot. I don’t know what make of tractor it is, it has a Star on the front.
nice find for sure..
I believe it is a Star steam tractor

So its not a star tractor but it has a star eng ...ran on gas the two boxes on the back ,1 is for water the other is for gas ... they called it a thrasher as well ..made by
C Aultman & co.'s annul..
@Alfred101 , I was leaning towards Aultman as well. Excellent looking piece of machinery!
lol sure you were/////
Alfred not a threw her that's what these steam engines ran to thresh the wheat.and this is not gas powered!smh.....coal fired steam!
And if you look at my link to a STAR not an Altman Taylor
That comment #8 has so much incorrect it's not even funny......
Thesher not threw her!lol
I would also venture to say Star was mergered with Altman Taylor at some point(A-T was the bigger company)
Gargoy... lol ..If I was alfred I tell ya your blowing smoke up your hat ...... my uncle had one ....
