What do I have here ?
Hello, I'm new at restoration, I have been given a push roller lawn mower but I don know what make/model I have to research it. I know it's a Qualcast because I've identified some parts with this emblem on it. I'll add some photos and hopefully someone will know exactly what it is. Thanks in advance.

As Clive1997 has suggested I'm fairly sure this is a Follows and Bate Falcon. A mk2 dating from around 1960, much before then they were still being produced in the ' old style ' with parallel handles.
Here is a Falcon I have, you
Here is a Falcon I have, you can just about see the remains of the same transfer. As wristpin said your mower has a great original look & will hopefully remain that way.
This is from a 1965 Follows
This is from a 1965 Follows and Bate (Folbate) leaflet. You can see - just about - the design on the chain cover.
I'm thinking Wondercut..
I'm thinking Wondercut...thinking back to my days in the machinery world....always loved the utopia like drawing on the transfer :)
