Couldn't have been a good seller Jack when they were cheaper than a Black and Decker saw
G'day Max, wce and Norm
Yes, Norm, a niche market for sure back then... How times have changed!

Great ad, ideal for confined areas ! spot on and the only way it could be advertised.
Yes, wce, and I can't help but think that B&D helped change the public perception
of the domestic lawnmower - from a garden machine to a household appliance.

In any case it was a harbinger of things to come ... smaller plots and tiny lawns.
Even Victa engaged in the cheap, small lawnmower market
when they marketed the Victa-Qualcasts[/b in the mid-1980s].

The Black & Decker Lawnrazor brings back old memories ,I still have one that's been unplugged since the eighties.
[b]Max, many thanks for the patent info. These machines are collectable - and rare here.
I guess most would have been sent to the tip.

Cheers
