Hello ODK History Lovers
It's a rare treat that a lawnmower trade-in list survives.
This one - from my collection is in good condition and it covers the 1967 - 1968
Lawnmower season.

This is an important historical document about AUS lawnmowers.

There is a lot of good, credible evidence here too.
I have written about most of these lawnmowers at some point.
A few makes/models remain a mystery ...?

Just like other period lists (e.g. spark plug lists; spare parts lists) these publications
contain errors. Note how this list presents an odd mix of maker and model names.
After all, the intention was to give lawnmower dealers a guide!
