Mowers On BBC Antiques Roadshow This Sunday

Seb Sun, 18/11/2012

Hello all

That is me, I visited the roadshow in falmouth with two of my mowers back in september.

the manchester is the one that was on ebay a few months back.

The silens messor is an 8in from 1898 and while the price may be on the slightly on the high side, I think its in the right ballpark, I restored it with another member who sold a later 8in on ebay, that one sold quickly at £295 plus postage.

I dont know if anyone notised but I made a small error in saying that the silens messor was made from 1869-1939 instead of 1859-1939, for this I apologise.

Best regards

Seb.
