I think we will then move your Model 2 photo to its own post.
I feel the real story in that is the HG Noble dealer plate.
It's an interesting story... well interesting enough. smile

Why are there a few examples off HG Noble badged mowers? A little side venture maybe?
Yes, very much a little side venture. I have written about these types
of companies before, and I still want to discuss one who made rotary lawnmowers
under their trade brand, Hibiscus. Heard of them?

Post WWII these old 'catalogue companies' were trading on borrowed time.

The rest is history
