I have moved this post to its own topic, as I believe we need to
start recording the Sabre in its own right.
So do I Jack.
Here is a 1957 advertisement.
So would that be the date? There was a bit of discussion about dates on my post.
The thing is this: look at the following machines...
You have no idea how much that blew me away! There all so similar, only minor differences. Pretty cool how a New Zealand brand, a British brand, an Australian brand and an American brand all made mowers so similar! Wouldn't surprise me if there was something going on between the 4.
Thanks again Kye for bringing this mower to our attention.
It is amazing how your Facebook page is revealing so many rare mowers.
All good Jack! It is amazing me too, every couple of nights we are getting something interesting.
Also at Caboolture I saw an interesting J.A.P. engine, it was the same type as the one on the Qualcast, but it had an alloy base plate, which looked like a section of a Qualcast base! I have his number written down if I do want it.
Do you recon it could have been a store engine? It didn't look cut, it looked cast, but it was the same as the Qualcast. I will hopefully be heading to his place after August as he is local, hope he is enjoying his trip to Alaska!
Cheers Jack! Hope this helps you out!
