The Co-op line was of course just a renaming of the Cockshutt 20, 30, 40, and 50's. They were the E2, E3, etc. Cockshutts were made in Brantford, Ontario, Canada (at this time) and this line was made from just after the war past the mid part of the next decade. Before this, Cockshutts were just Olivers, and after the series mentioned above, continued again to be Olivers. There is a good article this month on the YT home page on Cockshutts. Some farm Co-op store chain had them painted their own colors and they were sold through the Co-op dealers I assume. While the Cockshutts were an attractive Red and Cream color, the Coops were sort of a rusty orange and a lot of people weren't fussy about the looks of them, however they would be quite a bit rarer than the Cockshutts which were the same thing. I would say that Co-ops up here in Canada would be considered quite rare, but there are lot's of 30's, 40's, and 50's to be had at good prices, both gas and diesel. I bought a good running model 30 (with new rubber but rough sheet metal) in '96 for $550 Canadian, and that was a pretty good deal. I see them advertised for between $750 and $2000 usually up here (keep in mind our dollar is only 2/3 the value of the US dollar). I would guess that mine is now worth $2000 - $3000 restored. The model 20's are very rare here in Western Canada but you might find a few down east. They's be pretty pricey I would imagine. Row crops would be rare up here where I live (Alberta) with almost all being standard tread versions.
