THE MYSTERY - Loukon & Ezy Cut

In researching vintage mowers, it is not unusual to come across anomalies. This is one of them.

This is the issue: Loukon Engineering presents themselves as the manufacturer of the Loukon
lawnmower. However, its base is identical to another lawnmower make, the Ezycut.

Here is an auction site photo record of an Ezycut lawnmower:-

I can only speculate that the Ezycut was a lawnmower made for/by the Ezycut Tool Company
of Mordialloc, Victoria. The Ezycut will be a topic for a separate post.

Here, I would like to summarise the issues by saying that the similarity between the Loukon
and Ezycut lawnmowers is unresolved at this time. My best guess is that Loukon were the
actual manufacturer, and supplied their machines - branded as Ezy-Cuts - in Victoria.

I should add that this does not mean that all Ezy-Cuts were of Loukon manufacture.
In fact, an early Ezy-Cut (from the late 1950s) appears to be of Amplion make.
This suggests that Ezy-Cut was a distributing company, but with some manufacture.
