Came across this add today.

Thought I'd check if it was a typo but couldn't be bothered.
$2000 though. Guess the market went up for these ... grass cutters.
Sell sell sell!!!

Hello IHWS

Many thanks for bringing this one to the record.
This lawnmower is advertised as an "early 1900" job.
That is nonsense. The asking price is fanciful - to say the least!

This is a post WWII machine, when F&B were part of the Qualcast group.
The patent is late 1930s - interwar.

I date this one to about 1948, or a bit later.
I hope it is saved, but the seller needs to drop the price by a couple
of thousand dollars.



Cheers

Oh no. You mean it's not worth $2000! That sucks

Oh well.

We know the line Darryl Kerrigan said in The Castle (1997).

Ahh yes, the infamous 'jousting sticks' Trading Post ad.
