That is what seed corn companies use to use to mark their seed plots. Quite colllectable but I already have two. The seed plots would give the seed varity number so farmers could watch the corn grow as they drove down the road to see how it performed.

As has been pointed out, here in the midwest they go from $50-$100 depending on condition. They are real weathervanes. The seed plot markers were larger and most were made out of Masonite or similar product.
