THE MARINO MOWALL

I do believe that Marino Products did manufacture its own mower!
It was a slasher-type (suitable for rural Australia) and commercial
mowing of high grasses. It was the Marino Mowall.

These were introduced - best guess - in 1955.
Whilst I do believe Marino did manufacture these at Bulimba, I do not believe
they were produced to any Dowling design.

The thing that gives it away is the name - 'Mowall'
I suspect the name & design came from Masling Industries, a small company set up
as a 'decentralised' operation at 116 Parker Street,Kootamundra, New South Wales.
[NOTE: This is pure speculation on my part - because of the name - and we will have to wait,
should any new information come forward on Masling Industries.What it a Dowling design?]

Here are advertisements from 1956 and 1960.
Notice how Marino Products, by this time, clearly had interstate agents
doing the retail work. Also notice the Marino 'Blowamist'.
