G'day folks,
Thanks for that, maxwestern. That mob looks like the right one, and they were well established by the 1970's.
Would the Pace branded Victa high arch from the late 1970s been a result of a similar arrangement as the high arch "Victa Monaro". My late gran had one of these Pace branded high arch mowers. The Pace "banner; was also imprinted on the thumb latch catcher itself.
Not quite; Pace was by the 1970's a 'second tier' brand like Mayfair, and sold through non-dealer retailers.
I can't get my mind around an organization like that generating an impostor Victa model. How would the average punter know?
Well, the machines were made by Victa! IIRC, Victa themselves encouraged the proliferation of storebrands, as the minimum order to qualify for 'house brand' labelling was only about 200 mowers, taken as a single delivery.
