Well you posted this as I was writing my post. LOL A lot of the parts will interchange between the Holland and Mechanical brand transplanters. As for age I would say 1960-1970. The earlier Holland had a plant holder that had one side being steel with the other side gripping the plant with a rubber piece.
I have generations of cousins living in southern Ohio that raised Burley tobacco for years. we traded work back and forth. They would come and help me in summer hay making. We would go back and help them in Aug. tobacco harvest. Their season and ours did not over lap much. In the early 1980s I would watch sales in IA, IL,MN, and WI. There would be transplanters sale in areas that grew vegetables. I would buy Holland and Mechanical transplanters cheap as the market was so limited in the areas. I then would refurbish them and send them to Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky for my cousins to resale. I also made a lot of one rows into two row planters. I remember one winter I found a lot of them. I sent a semi load of them back to be sold. That would have been in the early 1980s. A lot of grain farmers that had quit raising tobacco in the BOOM times of the 1970s where getting back into it trying to survive the grain crash of the 1980s. They sold well.
In Ohio and Kentucky you can now buy these transplanters for $50-100 a row since the tobacco quota system is gone. These would working transplanters in much better shape then the one you posted about. Sorry about saying that.
