"it seems conclusive with Colda and that mower and mine, because that image I was sent this morning, is a 100% match"
Not quite BH
The original un-restored mower photo appeared on the Vintage Mowers website
in July as
unidentified. The poster was John (owner of VM) who posted it on
behalf of the owner. The owner was attempting to identify it!
Yesterday, the restored photos appeared (that you have been sent). These
were also posted by the site owner. The mower was identified as ...a Colda.
Unfortunately no evidence was supplied as to how the unidentified
mower became an identified Colda in the new post...
Perhaps you might email again and ask how the unknown mower was identified,
and ask for the evidence - an advertisement, brochure, or original
photo showing the brand name would be needed. As you know, I have presented
my evidence here in the form of four separate arguments. That is the best
I can do until positive confirmation comes along.
"what colour should they be, just a light green?"
Your machine is the best preserved and clearly shows a light aqua
or pastel green, not unlike some of the soft pastel fridge colours
offered at that time. I believe the handles, wheel hubs and tank
would have been red (to match the red in the decal remnants you have).
Hope this helps.------------------------
