It was luck that I could identify the maker of the Cornstalk.
I noticed that all the advertisements I had also included a dearer, ball-bearing
Paragon lawn mower. By association, I wondered if there was a connection ...
There was.

The Paragon was a trademarked machine made by the American Lawnmower Company [ALC].
My records showed that ALC also made a cheaper, plain bearing machine, the Regina.
The Regina was made in 10", 12" and 14" sizes with plain bearings - same as the
Cornstalk. When I compared record photos I had a match. The Cornstalk was made by
the ALC for Nock & Kirby. It was based upon their Regina model.
