Supposedly after White took over MM the 1210 shellmaster was offered to Oliver dealers with green paint . . . I've seen a toy based on one, but have never seen a picture of a real one, nor literature for one. There were also a few red White 1210 shellers near the very end (1973-74?).

We have a MM sheller now but now drags for it. Maybe some day another MM or JD sheller will show up with the drags. Anyway, any help in sizing this...
