PART FIVE - Conclusion
I do not know of any collectors having a Gravic in their collections.
I have no Photo Record of these seemingly well-built and designed machines.
I remain optimistic that some will be found, now that there is this recognition
of their existence.
I have argued here and in the article on Grant & Vickery in the Company Forum
that Gravics should be considered some of the very first power lawnmowers made
in this country. I place them in that select group that started manufacture
before any government assistance in the form of tariff protections. At this
time, the British and Scottish lawnmowers dominated the power mower market,
and the Americans dominated the push side-wheel market.
It was pioneers like Mr Scott Bonnar (Standard), Prosper F. Lark (New Moon),
and Robert Grant (Gravic) that, against all odds, made our first power mowers.
The rest is history.
