push mower
Dear all
I have recently been clearing out my mother's shed and came across my dad's old push mower, which I believe belonged to his father before him. It is possible that this dates from the 1920's onwards, but I have to admit my ignorance and it may well be significantly later.
I'm afraid it is in VERY poor condition, but before I take it to the tip, I wondered if anyone here would be interested (free of charge). I have a couple of photos, but am a bit of a technophobe, so don't know if it's possible to attach them to a post or not.
If anyone's interested and knows how, let me know before the Easter weekend
Regards
Rob

push mower
right. tried that
unfortunately when i follow the instructions, the dialogue box just displays a load of latin, and there doesn't appear to be a "browse server" button as suggested
sorry, i really am a dunce when it comes to computers
i'll try e-mailing them to the contact address on the website

1920s push mower
Hi Rob,
the mower does sound like the sort of thing I'd be interested in as I only collect pre war push mowers. I look forward to seeing the pictures and finding out a little bit more about the mower. Please bear me in mind when you get a flurry of replies.
Thank you for being kind enough, and foresighted enough, to offer your father's mower here.

1920's? push mower
hello joe
(note the question mark - i'm not at all sure it IS that old, but pre-war is a definite possibility)
i'm afraid i still don't seem to be able to attach a photo, will try again tomorrow
cheers

Re Mower photos
Hi,
Well those photos worked ok and now we can see that the mower you have is a Qualcast Panther, there is a history and more information if you look at the Mower Profile section of this forum..
MP047: Qualcast Panther
These are quite a common mower but could still be welcomed by someone starting a collection.

Qualcast Panther
Thanks Ray
Interesting to find out some more about it. He also used to have a Suffolk Punch (which I'm afraid my brother threw out some time ago), which I note was also a big seller in its day. Dad obviously liked to follow current trends when it came to his garden.
I'll keep hold of the Panther for a week or so in case anyone is interested.
Much obliged
Rob
