Seems like a lot of $$$ but fun to look at.

Now that is COOL. I'd love to see something like that "properly" restored.

That is cool. Never seen anything like that. The fenders remind of the head of Alien.

The thing is very Kool, "Marketed as a women's mower" can you just see a 1950's housewife (and I am not trying to be whatever bad non politically correct in this situation is) sitting on that with a skirt / dress and the motor right below her with whirling motor parts, just sounds like a bad horror movie to me, but it is a Kool old lawn mower, never seen one before. Show room condition would be a site.

It is really neat to imagine stepping back in time, when ladies were ladies! It almost looks art-deco with those fenders. So, here is the big question.....Are you going to negotiate for it? It almost looks like something you would race. The deck isn't even noticeable, let alone a discharge chute.

Certainly a neat machine! Nice to have in a collection, where it rightfully deserves to be. But, like they say, riding a moped is all fun until your seen, lmbo!
