Hello ODK History Lovers

The main focus of the ODK History Forum is to record as many vintage lawnmowers as is possible.
I have given priority to Australian-made mowers, but also to the diverse range of imported lawn
mowers sold here.

One particular mower has had me stumped for years -the Park Lane rotary. It does not appear
in any spark plug catalogues I had; nor in any engine component catalogues of the period
(Repco; ACL). I only had one reference ... a listing in a 1963-64 Trade-In Price List.

That list (extract below) says that the Park Lane came in two widths: a smaller die cast 15"
machine with a Trojan engine; and a 16" pressed steel base with a Boundy engine.

Searches over many years failed to find any reference to a Park Lane mower.
However, recently, I had one lucky break. I now know what the 15" machine looked like,
and I think I know who made it and for whom...
