Seasonal brain teaser
In the tradition of the best publications at this time of year, and probably some rotten ones as well, I have devised a diversion to get readers thinking and fill any spare moments over the next few days.
It's simple really - all you have to do is identify the old lawnmower in each photo. I will post the answers early in the New Year.
Update - Righto, here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for - the answers :
1 - Dulson Lawnmaster
2 - Jerram and Pearson Super
3 - Qualcast Commodore
4 - Ransomes Sims and Jefferies RSJ Centenary
5 - Atco Motor Mower ( Standard )
6 - Ransomes Sims and Jefferies Kikuyu ( it's actually an export model Ripper )
7 - Lloyds Pennsylvania
8 - Arundel Coultard Presto Rollmo
9 - Ransomes Sims and Jefferies Ajax mk. 3 B
10 - Shanks Caledonia
11 - The Flexa Lawn Mower Co. Ltd. Flexa
12 - Ransomes Sims and Head Automaton
13 - Thomas W. Green and Son Silens Messor
14 - Williams Archimedean

Thank you for your comments.
Converted to black and white to avoid making it too easy ! Sometimes particular colours can give the game away. That said some of you will know that a fair number of my machines don't have much paint on them anyway. All photographed on the premises here recently. I hope all the photo's can only really be one machine, at least that was the intention. Time will tell; someone may pick me up on something.
I knew I needed to get out
I knew I needed to get out more when I spotted the Atco Standard cylinder!
Cheers Colin. Great photos!
