A Millville auction treasure - what was it originally on?

What was this oil can holder originally from? Husband thought maybe it was from a picker or something.

We bought it from a scrapper who had purchased the F20 it was mounted on (Millville auction). We got the holder, plus a nice castle nut for our pulley wheel for $5. We are thinking that the holder is NOT factory for a tractor, but we just thought it looked cool on the F20 it was on - so we will put this holder on our Regular. Also got a nice rusty oil can to set in it.

*Bummer alert...
There was a factory double foot brake unit and a very nice, and complete radiator shutter system on the F20 that was getting scrapped - but husband did not have the tools needed to remove them!! The guy had told us to take off whatever we wanted - then just find him and pay him. The same man also bought some other tractors and more F20's... all going to scrap. One had rear cast centers, another had a nice set of front steel with beautiful skid-rims. Bummed us out, be we did not have the tools along needed to rescue them and were a long way from home.

I hope somebody answers your question, mother inlaw has been looking for years to find one. Her father had some on his tractors but never took one, and now can't find any. chris
 
Neat! Do you have any other pictures of the Auction? What did the 100 A-C combine go for? Would have loved to go but was working at our local show not too far south.(Mabel Steam Engine Days).

Jim,
I do have more photos - and will post some... but took over 1,000 shots, so it will take me a little while to sort through them. It was a pretty area.

I don't know most prices, because I am always taking pictures - so I'm usually not where the auction action is. I will ask my husband if he heard the combine price. I think overall it seemed that things sold at really reasonable prices.

We were mainly interested in a plow... a Little Wonder. But my husband dropped out at 275 - it was totally worth that and more. But decided we would rather put money toward getting the old Regular running first - so we look for a plow in the future.
 
BIGDADDY,
Thanks. You guys are confirming what my husband was thinking (not from a tractor). We will still put it on ours - just seems like a fun thing to do, since we found it on an old tractor.
