Hello
ODK History Lovers
The
Alex Grahame Company of
1 Whiting Street, Leichhardt, NSW, manufactured rotary lawn mowers
from about
1956. These new machines for a new age - the rotary revolution - would augment the
reel mowers the company had been making since the
1930s. The Company, itself,was established
in
1890. This was an old and respected Australian lawnmower company!
Two model sizes were manufactured: the
18 Inch, followed a season later by the
21 Inch machine.
Both machines were of the
conventional design, but solidly made, and were sold directly from the
Company showroom(s), and through a small dealer network, state and interstate.
This post is a
Supplement to the
Main Story on the Alex Grahame Company, discussed in the
Company Histories Forum. The reel mowers are discussed as another supplementary story in the
AUS Reel Mowers Forum (see
