OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations Eric Anderson Mower

I think it would say perhaps Lauson or Kirby-Lauson, i think (Cyberjack may have to confirm this) that they made Tecumseh engines over here under license. I think you should keep this one to restore! It has a very cool base which i have not seen before, perhaps it may even help Jack write about the history of Eric Anderson! But what ever you do with it i hope it all goes well I also have an original air filter if you do choose to restore.

I have been researching Eric Anderson and i have found some advertisement for it. It is from 1962 which will give you a date. You can also see that they were Home appliance specialists and there mower was up against the Victa Envoy and Turner Deluxe. Also (i am not sure if this is right as i dont understand the old money system, wish i did) the Eric was 7/6 weekly, the victa was 8/6 and the Turner was 9/6, making the Eric cheaper weekly (i think).



The next advertisement is from 1967, so much later. This time advertised by itself, without the Turner or Victa


This advertising is from 1964 and shows the original type of catcher, it is much different to your tip find catcher, which is very cool!



This advertisement is from 1963, It will be the last advertisement i will post for now as things are starting to repeat, but this shows it was also selling against the pope in the same store!


I can also find some references to a 2-stroke version but all i can find is this advertising, it says the ad is from 1967 but it isn't in dollars so i'm not sure whats happening there.


Some advertisement from 1960 shows them selling Lawn Patrols and in 1959 they sold the rare Turner 4-stroke. I also found this mower which doesn't seem to have a name (i think its from 1961).


Hope that helps you out a bit.

Thanks for reading
