This is the best one I have ever seen. Look at the engine cover! It even comes with it's original sales receipt from Waltons!!! shocked
No wonder it has attracted serious bidding activity.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

That's well-spotted there.
I rely on keen 'mower spotters' to preserve history.
Many thanks, again!

The Victa Supreme corrected the technical failures of the earlier Twin.
It is certainly an important lawnmower - and this one in good original condition.

The rewarding thing for me was my matching-up of the receipt to
a Waltons' advertisement from the same month! The discount prices match!

I can't believe $2.00 for delivery!
What a rip-off! grin

p.s. I would also like to point out something significant ...
The original buyer lived just under 1 kilometer from Merv Richardson's
house - where Victa began its famous journey.

Good job tracking down that concurrent Waltons promo!
The receipt holds special interest to me, as our Victa Waltons store brand Celestial 160 low arch mower was bought from Waltons in the late 70s. I remember it had a white nose cone on the orange engine cover that broke off not long after use. It would have looked amazing coming out of the box. I can vaguely recall the day.

Here is the result of the EBay ad.
AU $603.00 (19 bids)
