Hi
Ian and
ODK members,
I wonder who else on
ODK can boast such a collection of manual push mowers.
Ian, I know your collection has a number of Australian machines.
These, in my opinion, will become the
NEW COLLECTABLES.
Australian push mowers made in the first half of the 20th Century are going for a song
in the market place. Under seeming similar appearances there lies an incredible complex
layer of differing design features. Some machines, like your Model A Ogden, are quite rare.
As an Historian, I thank you for leading the way for 'The New Black' in mower collecting.
There is life
beyond and
before Victa. The shrewd collector will see that as any
Blind Freddy would.
I encourage all mower-collecting and mower-spotting
ODK members to consider the manual push mower.
To the initiated, they can be very rewarding. Too much Australian vintage mower history is being lost!
All very collectable.
