The J.I. Case Collectors' Association was founded in 1985 by a group of people in the Midwest who were interested in preserving the agricultural heritage of the J.I. Case Company. Since its founding JICCA has become an international organization, with a large following in the US, but also a number of members in England, Australia, and Canada. JICCA is a non-profit membership based organization which promotes the hobby of collecting Case brand equipment and memorabilia. Membership has a number of great benefits. The JICCA hosts two conventions per year, one in Summer and one in Winter, which all members are invited to attend.
