This RESPONSE relates to the History Record for the Talisman lawnmower HERE.

---------------------------------------------

Many thanks to cyberjack for putting together all this information about the Talisman.
Your detective skills are great.This is a lot more data on the history than I could ever find.I new the mower was not common but is rarer than I thought.Made me think about the day in 1986 we had the clean out and what else was thrown to the tip,can't remember now.I remember saying to the boss your not going to throw that old mower on the fire.Sure am he said, piece of sh#$. Good luck for me as I wasn't the only one trying to save it.

G'day sb30inch

Thanks for the kind words mate.

I shudder to think what has been thrown away over the years.
Your Talisman will be a century old shortly. I feel these grand
old machines should survive by virtue of age alone!

So I'm glad you saw the beauty in this old girl.
Not everyone owns a mower that also acts as a good luck charm.

The rest is history.
