Hi Sir Bat and Jack,
You've covered off on a couple of thoughts I hadn't actually expressed...
Yes Sir Bat it's definitely a conversation piece. I think you've done well and it needs mounting!
And whilst I first suspected it was a possibly overseas copy I did also wonder whether someone had cast their own copy-cat version and I think that's what it probably is. Especially if Sir Bat knows of a possible local foundry and possible sand casting.
Also like Jack I had wondered about the rough-n-ready design and flaws- the finish, crude height adjustment with copied parts and the funny square indent cutting the strangely placed logo which does somewhat resemble one of Victa's later logo styles.
And Jack, sorry, I went back and reread your post above about A-V mowers and timelines. Sorry it was all a bit much for me earlier, I knew I'd missed something. The learning continues...
