Good morning everyone!
We're in the process of designing our 175th Anniversary brochure, but I've run into a roadblock. I can't seem to find a record of when we started using the white and navy color scheme on our old attachments.

I spoke with the Chief Design Engineer from the mid-1960's, but he said that it was in use before he came on board. His best guess is 1960, but I have no way of validating that information. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad

Hmmm...not tough to find your old attachments still around,a nd still in use, but still with original paint, now that is a tough find. Will be neat to hear the recollections of those who remember.

All of the older Brinly implements I've ever seen were all white, except for the decals.

I have a Bolens Brochure for 1964 that shows the a Brinly sleeve hitch cultivator, plow, disc that are all white.

I also have another brochure that has to be from 1972 or 1973 that also shows all white Brinly implements.

It would help if you had a pic or the color scheme you are talking about.

You should offer attachments in the white and navy colors to celebrate the 175th year.

I'm with OLDBuzzard I have not seen that combo but I know I have not seen them all I'm sure.I have Brouchures from Brinly and John Deere I know back to 1964.
The only other color scheme I had saw was on the planter's .

I'm not to sure you guys haven't used some diferent shades of white over the years.I know the older brochures I have the attachments look really white and then as the brochures get a little newer the attachments seem to get more of a almond color.If you find out any more info on the paint schemes me and a bunch of the guys would love to hear about them

Littledeere - We have brochures here that date back to 1964 as well, but prior to that we're flying blind. We may end up having to omit it from the brochure for fear of printing it incorrectly. I'll be taking a trip to the Filson Historical Society later today to see if I can dig anything up in their archives.

John9001 - I keep suggesting that too! I took a screenshot of your post and will make sure it gets to the right inbox

Thanks for everyone's help. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Maybe someone at Cole would know the answer as some of Brinly and Cole Planters share a lot of things
