Hello
DeeJay, Gadge, BB and ODK members,
I waver between being a
Doubting Thomas and
smelling a rat on this one.
I share BB's concerns on this one.
If this machine is genuine, it will have been made for
MSAA.
Victa, Rover and Masport were making Craftsman lawnmowers for this organisation.
However, I can't find evidence that Scott Bonnar were.
Does anyone know whether there was an
SB rotary Craftsman?
That front decal looks more suited to a rotary base...
It certainly isn't "Craftsman .. by Scott Bonnar".
BB, it's got to be late 1970's, given the release date of the twin rail machines.
[
Administrator DeeJay has put that at
December 1975]
And what's that rubber grip doing on the hair trigger?
I think this machine is illegitimate or a pretentious gold & white digger.
I think we need more evidence.
I will not smile unless more evidence is forthcoming!!!
All very interesting.
