Horse drawn planter

We are looking for information on this planter. Who made it, and what did it plant? I've never seen anything like it.

Curtis, I do not think it is a horse-drawn planter.
Because of the diminutive size of all components, I believe it is a garden planter, meant to be pushed by the operator.

Marshall said a guy he new had one and he used it as a side dresser when he raised tobacco. Been a few years back.

Google is your friend. Try "horse drawn single row planter".....six of the first ten hits show similar images. Oh, hit the "images" tab for Google.

If I remember right, you got a planter made by the "John Blue" Co. There were a many of their brand fertilize distributors in this neck of t he woods, but Cole planters were a little more popular than the John Blue......Used to be made in NC, Laurinburg, I think.

I don't know who made it - those single row horse drawn planters were real common around here. The different gears on the side of the large wheel make it adjustable for different kinds of seeds, I believe. The standard equipment on these typical old hill farms were a plow, a spike or spring toothed harrow, a cultivator, a sled, a farm wagon, a mule and one of these planters.
