Hello
ODK Collectors
It was a rewarding moment when
Kye Turnbull of
Vintage Mowers: Buy, Swap and Sell sent me
the first image of a KBC lawnmower. I had been chasing that one for years, but with no luck
[see

K.B.C. (Ken Bowes and Company) of Adelaide made a significant contribution to post war
Australian industry; particularly with their household appliances: electric drills, electric kitchen
mixes, and their older manual products - their bean slicer and
Fruit Juice Extractor.
Many thanks to Administrator
Deejay for spotting this one on an auction site. The postage
to me was dearer than the purchase price. Thanks Australia Post!
The KBC Juicer dates
c1949 and probably staid in production for about 5 years.
