Wheel Horse Anco Breakaway tag

Recommended Posts

Interesting tidbit on this metal tag for an SML-506  Wheel Horse Sickle Bar Mower.   
 

ANCO BREAKAWAY. Tag !  Not on later tags but interesting that this company made these for Wheel Horse!  
 

ANCO may have been the Anderson Company in Gary, Indiana  as they made Anderson Wiper Blades for vehicles.  They made many metal display and distribution items for their wipers.

 

History 

 

ANCO was founded as The Anderson Company by John W. Anderson in South Bend, Ind., in 1918.  Initially, it developed, produced and marketed a range of automotive products, including "Hot Spot" manifold gaskets, ball thrust bearings, and timers, all for the original Ford Model T.  Eventually, the company began experimenting with wiper blades, and by the early 1930s, were producing replacement wipers and arms at large volumes, including for military applications.  Federal-Mogul Motorparts' parent company, Federal-Mogul Corporation (now Federal-Mogul LLC), acquired the ANCO brand in 1998.

The Anco tag also showed up on some 1968 Commando tractors.
