I do not believe Case-IH had anything to do with the CB&Q planters.  
What I have seen they were horse drawn Check Row planters.  Check Row 
planters used a wire with knots about three feet apart.  The knots 
tripped a mechanism that dropped the seeds about every three feet in 
rows on three feet centers.  This allowed cultivation in two directions 
for weed control and eased the nutrient load on the field.  From what I 
have seen the planters were available from about 1910 to maybe the mid 20s.

The CB&Q and the international Harvester Corporation were both 
headquartered in Chicago.  IHC was the result of the McCormick Harvester 
Company combining with several other companies under the direction of 
New York Bankers in about 1905.

I was a charter member of the International Harvesters Collectors 
Association and would like to find one of these lids.
