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!!! frown

All very interesting.
