Edger Thomas Green & Son
Following Hillsiders thread regarding the Ransomes edger I have been doing a bit of digging through my collection & records, whilst I have a reasonable selection of edgers, I see Greens produced one earlier that the 'Handy' which resembled an actual mower with a cutting blade on the side, anyone seen one of these?
Thanks

Interesting to hear about an edger made by Greens it would good if a photo surfaces so give us a idea about the cutting arrangement.
I understand that Lloyds mowers were at one time selling a Lawn Edger that was identical to the Ransomes version.
