Great piece Carl. That looks like it belongs at the top of a Deere tool display board.

Especially one here in NY. The mid-west doesn't bleed green like we do out here in the east...lol

One sold on ebay last year. You can add a zero to the end of what I paid plus some if your curious how much it brought.
