I guess so, Paul.
I do note that the chute post is not shown in this parts list though.
This could well accord with your suggestion - that the brochure (and the
sample parts list from an Ogden booklet) were both made prior to, or early
in production of this great lawnmower.

And I guess you are the owner of the best example!

A NOTE ON SAFETY
p.s. Paul, it may be that that seemingly insignificant chute post or bollard
is a great, early example of the emerging issue of the safety of rotary lawnmowers.
I note that the Ogden has, in essence, a rear safety skirt.

It is true that electric rotaries received some bad press because of
a few fatal injuries - electrocution. But evidence strongly suggests
that it was the petrol rotaries (the 'toe-cutters') that produced the
vast majority of non-fatal injuries in the 1950s.

The Rotamatic - not being a toe-cutter - and having a chassis base
with a rear safety skirt and chute post, would have been as safe a
machine as the safest produced in the 1950s.
