Potato Digger?

I recently came across this piece in a pile of scrap from where my Great Grandfather's barn had burned down. I believe it to be a S H Peek Potato Digger, but I am having trouble with the number on it. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
John

I suppose you could roll potatoes out of the ground with it,but I think it would be called a peanut plow in most parts of the south if it's as small as it appears to be. A potato plow most likely would have been wider and pushed the dirt both ways and would have had rods in the center to let some of the dirt filter through. A pony plow,small turning plow,moldboard plow,call it what you want to. I collect them,but I'm not familiar with that brand. There were so darned many little local companies that made them.

Interesting... at first I just thought it was a one bottom plow, but when I tried to research the location, I came up with Reuther Potato Digger being built by S H Peek in 1905. Maybe it was a different machine?
 
Maybe somewhere along the way someone took the potato digger off and replaced it with a mole board plow? Have to look close at where the bottom is attached and see if it looks farmerized.
