I have an 1896 Aultman, Miller & Co. sales catalog. In it are a couple of Buckeye binders and mowing machines, a very unusual looking Buckeye corn binder, a Buckeye dropper, and the Buckeye table-rake reaper. At this time, the firm wasn't offering a self-rake machine, although they may have at some other time.
Generally, the colors on the Buckeye machines were: red frame, levers, seat, & swathboard. Yellow wheels, seat support, reel, tongue and evener. The outside rim only of the wheels, cutter bar parts, sprockets, bundle carrier, and some of the brace rods were medium blue. The short squeeze handles on the long red levers were painted blue as well. Aultman, Miller & Co. was located in Akron, Ohio, and Lewis Miller had many inventions to his credit.
