Avery Cast Iron Threshing Set Diorama
Description
44x8x10.5 A set of agricultural models presented as a threshing diorama, featuring cast iron construction with painted finishes. The group includes a steam traction engine in green and black with red-spoked wheels, bearing the raised letters AVERY on the side of the cab. A black drive belt connects the flywheel of the engine to a yellow and red threshing machine. The thresher displays the raised letters AVERY on the side of the main body and the words YELLOW FELLOW painted in red on the elevator arm. The set is accompanied by a water or fuel tank wagon in black with a red four-wheeled chassis and a green hay wagon with red wheels. The hay wagon is pulled by a team of two cream-colored horses, which are cast in halves and joined with screws. The diorama is populated with a figure of a farmer holding a pitchfork, bundles of twine-tied straw, and a large haystack. The entire assembly is mounted on a wooden display base covered in gray carpeting, housed within a three-sided wooden frame. The top of the frame bears handwritten markings in black ink reading AVERY OUTFIT and TOP.
