I'm sure at least a few visitors remember the old rotating blade manual lawn mowers pictured above and below.
So far, this is all I've been able to find online about this still-functioning mower.
The newspaper ad above is from 1940, and the company is showing as STAR LEADER. The mower I have simply has "LEADER" stamped on the wheels. As ( per my uncle Mickey ) it originally belonged to Aunt Sophie on Meade Street, chances are quite a few generations of the Raykovitz family broke a sweat pushing this thing around.
Seventy ++ years later, this Made in the USA piece of machinery is still working.
Go figure.
More in a few.
