Yep, but it would have been a 'Big W' product line, not a variety store/supermarket one!
I don't believe Big W came onto the scene until well into the early 80s. That mower base is from the 70s and has the old Woolworths logo that was never used with Big W. I think this mower was probably sold in select Woolworths department stores, the ones with the concertina wooden framed doors that so many had. I always saw that as their signature feature.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
