Hi Jack,
interesting images,just a shame we don't have a detailed colour image.

I would have thought the manual edgers of the day would work easier than the
Pace edger.Some of the manual edgers had a foot push support bracket (foot rest)
so you had some force when cutting the edge of the lawn,with the pace edger if
the ground is uneven the blade could get stuck in the ground or it could ride over
the grass.

I have some images of a manual reel edger push mower ,I am not sure if most people
have seen one before.

G'day Max

Yes, I think the Pace edger was short-lived - as Pace would be itself -
being shut down by Victa within a couple of years.

I must say that I am amazed at your modern version - with tubular
handle and plastic wheel. I can't believe any of these would have
sold in OZ.

The earliest attachment (for a manual push mower) I have found is 1912.
But purpose-built edgers date from way back.



Clive Gravett, from the OLC and the Budding Foundation wrote a
great article in GB90. His research suggests that the edger pre-dates the lawnmower!!!

G'day all, here are a few images of the Pace 1963 Edger, Source eBay ad.

Hello Max
Paul C also notified me about this.
Many thanks to the pros that spot significant things

I saw this listing and it sold quickly - no doubt by a serious collector.
As NOS, I was disappointed that the instructions appear to have been lost.

It may be that we can move your post to a specialised area.
I feel Paul and yourself have given us important information.
This should be recorded!

Many thanks for your expert spotting.
