G'day MF,
Salutations CyberJack.
Well done on digging those up. You have put me straight, well and truly. I had no idea that logo was used for Big W stores. I'm floored.
I have recently been given a store brand style low arch mower with a base just like the Woolworths mower pictured and now I want a reproduction Woolworths Chevron label to put on it! Would make a restoration with a difference.
It would that, as these seem to be a quite rare storebrand.
BTW, that exact 'Mayfair/storebrand mid-arch' base was used from 1971 up to 1980 at least.
The easiest way to pick these models in the Victa 'Quick parts reference 1970-1991' model list is by the catcher - this base used the Model 15.
For reference, here's an excerpt from Victa Tech Bulletin M92 [found
HERE] which shows some storebrand models. LA = Low Arch; the asterisks denote trademarked brands;
