Great find! Remember one of those at the gliding club I used to belong to. Wheel was falling off (wired back on) but the easist mower I ever had to start- about 0.5 pulls (i.e. started before you'd finished pulling). Chewed the gas until I figured out to change the air filter. Found it generally light an manoevreable too.

Its successor, which had the "GTS" (Guaranteed to start) label should have been GTNS (Guaranteed to not start) as it was a right royal bugger.

The original outlasted the successor.
