Yes I think Ive managed to confuse everyone - inc myself.

The reason for starting the thread is to facilitate peoples ideas and views. I like to read what other people value and hear why. As others have stated its really up to the individual as too what is considered collectable.
Me - I like 1960 - 70 stuff the most. Although have just purchased this:

I prefer round base without the edger attachment - looks cleaner? No idea on rareity or value?
I also like the orange utility from the 70s with the 160cc engine due to my Dad making me mow the grass with one for years, even though everyone else had a catcher!!!
Also like the wind up type the gold colored machines that are a little retro looking. Little like Mr Davis said.
Also love my iron horse that is a ripper - looks so 60s and an era where quality did exist. Love this 60's Victa Pace Premier 4 stroke Kirby -
