Landmark Co-op
Posted by Steve R. on Friday, March 3, 2017 3:14 PM

I am trying to model a grain elevator that was in my home town, Wilmington, Ohio in the early 60's. It was a Landmark Co-op with a logo that was a large L with a circle in it. I have done an on line search but can't find a picture of the old logo. Does anyone have a picture of the old emblem I could use to make a decal? I know this is a long shot but can't hurt to try.

I did a couple of quick searchs too, and seen nothing.  Looks like it's called Sunrise Co-op now.  We have a Landmark here in WI and northeren IL., buts totally different.

If you still are in the area, maybe try the local hostorical society.

Just an idea,

Mike.

Besides the local historical society, local newspaper and library.  You can find these online, but they don't show their picture libraries.  Don't know where in OH this one was.

Not too close to Ohio, I'd venture. Smile, Wink & Grin

It looks a whole lot like Saskatchewan to me! But elevators like that could be found in Ohio.

Me too.  I found it on a Ohio grain elevator website.  Fake grain elevator, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

If you look closely right above Pool, you can see the faint remnants of "Saskatchewan".

I agree.  If you look closely at the left side of the so-called "structure", there appears to be a valve stem situated right on the level of horizon line.  

That's an inflatable decoy structure!  Smile, Wink & Grin

This structure is located in Bents, Saskatchewan. Sorry to deflate your fun guys.
