Got this on the cheap on Ebay a couple of months back. I happen to have the right catcher lying around to attach for the photos.
The young lady who sold it wasn't sure if it worked but I took the plunge as it appeared in good original nick.
As it turned out, it sputtered to life after I put fuel in, but not before it leaked some fuel out the primer bulb, which stopped after a few seconds of running. It starts very easily, so I am very thrilled with this purchase.
I'd say this woman inherited it somehow and moved it on.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
