Well if it is an IHC or Case it should be wrapped up in their logos on every cast iron part. Maybe Nichols and Shepard or Avery?
I don't think it is a Nichols and Shepard. I have a Red River Special which I think is a N&S thresher and it is quite different. I don't recall seeing any recognizable names on any of the castings. All I remember seeing is the size up front under the feeder. Its a fairly small looking machine compared to the Red River Special.
There are lots of these old threshers still sitting in farm yards and fields here. They never seem to bring much money at sales and its possible some of them go for scrap iron. I can't imagine anybody ever stealing one. This one I parked right beside a busy highway.
