Hello
ODK History Lovers
We are lucky that some beautiful
B&W studio images survive from
John Boundy.
These were clearly authorised by the factory.
These images are now held by
Museums Victoria and were taken between
1958 and
1960.
I guess they were bank-rolled by the
Wiltshire File Company, who gained a �substantial
financial interest� in the
Boundy Manufacturing Company in
mid-1958 and bought the
remaining minority interests in
late 1959.
At this time,
John Boundy, the founder, general manager and director of
Boundy
Manufacturing Company resigned. Lawnmower making was now under Wiltshire control.
A big thank you to
Museums Victoria for making these images available.
Image descriptors will follow in the next part; followed by a set of Gallery Images in Part three.
Museums Victoria is a great place to discover industrial history �
