Ferrabee Improved No 8043 - Casting Detail

This photograph highlights the manufacturer's name cast into the side frame of Ferrabee Improved No 8043. The Phoenix Ironworks Company only produced lawnmowers for one year, in 1863, which allows us to date the machine. By this time James Ferrabee was no longer in control of the business and the Ferrabee name is nowhere to be found on the machine.
