Hi Bruce
Not being made in Australia does not make it not collectable. most of our early mowers were imported and are collectable
I have been into stationary engines for a long time and Australian engine are not as collectible as the imported one, shame I know, Southern Cross is one of them and they should be picked up as they made a lot of low volume engines BUT they are plan to look at and nobody wants them
With the GMC if does become collectable one day 20-30 years time I won't see it, who is going to store it? I'm not, as I said 'Only pick it up as it was free, complete and in going order' now I'm most likely stuck with it taking up room
