Hi everyone! Its been a little while since I last posted on ODK, I have had some computer issues frown

However I recently bought these in an online auction and I thought yous would love to see them!

They are original Qualcast cinema advertisement slides, I am guessing from the 40s-50s or so? I love that they state "All leading ironmongers stock them", instead of the term mower specialists or dealers, seen in alot of later advertising. This could hint towards their age. They also mention 'On the market at last.' so if the info is correct, these would have been from around the time these mowers first appeared in Australia. Also pointed out by a member of my Facebook page 'Vintage Mowers Buy, Swap & Sell Australia' is the fact that Qualcast didn't make this model in white paint (At least thats what the member said, so don't shoot the messenger!), my guess would be that the images were hand coloured, so they left the mower white to make it stand out from the grass.

They are still in the original cardboard box! Even the cardboard surrounds are in perfect condition, these surrounds are completely missing on all my other slides. Hopefully the pictures work so you can all see them.
