Hello Andrew and Mod BB

The thing is, you possess an anomaly in lawnmower history.

This is a classic example of a classic, enduring design.
The second point is that folks have seen this - with good parts
availability making this quite unique in designs.

This machine - from our age - can easily live on, with the assurance
it is better than any domestic reel mower made half-a-century later.

How about that!
