This is a photograph of an Avery Steam Traction Engine and Threshing Separator and Crew; it was included in the First National Bank of Howell's 2/1996 Calendar and was captioned, "In the early 1900's, the threshing crew traveled from farm to farm to thresh grain".
The exact location, names of the threshers, and date are unknown.
These photographs were labeled, "Brayton Farm". "The Oaks", was Burt Brayton's farm and was located on the corner of Warner Road and Tooley Road, Howell Township, Section 21, Livingston, Michigan.
The first picture, though, appears to be taken with a city limit as there is a sidewalk and fire hydrant with the steam engine.
