I have a victa cortina 2 with grass catcher and would like to know its value and if any of your collectors would be interested in buying it. It has been mowing lawns regularly up to the present day. Thank you Mary

Hry mate just woundering how I would go about finding the era of my mower, it's a mk4 160 with orange plastic top and green base/catcher alloy base with a made for waltons sticker on it.

I have a Kirby lawnmower with a 2 stroke Tecumseh engine from the sixties or seventies that needs a loving home. Contact me by email peterecc@rocketmail.com if interested. I`m located near Picton NSW. Thanks.

Hi folks I’m hoping you can help me. My father passed away late last year and has left us his huge collection of hand tools, collected over his lifetime. Many of the tools are vintage and original, some have been reconditioned. Just as an example there are over 100 claw hammers, literally 100’s of wood chisels, saws, pliers, etc etc - carpentry tools, plumbing tools, metalworking tools – you name it. Can you suggest someone who would be interested in looking at the collection with a view to buying it as single lot, or put me in touch with some collectors. The collection is located near Gosford on the Central Coast, NSW. Thanks in anticipation, Kind regards Steve Cook = sdcook@optusnet.com.au

Hello, I'm a home maintenance and gardening contractor and when recently doing a job for an elderly client he asked me if I knew anyone that was interested in collecting old lawn mowers as he has an old 60s vintage victa that he has had since new. Are you able to see if one of your member collectors in interested, if so i can forward on the sellers details. Rgds Brian Jones added by:

Does anybody collect old Qualcast lawnmowers? I have a Qualcast Captain, 14" self-propelled model given to me by an uncle, and up to about ten years ago, still worked okay. It is going to the dump next week. Thank you.

I have just come across a Tecnico electric mower. I believe they were made from 1955 - 1965 in NSW. Do you have anymore info for these? Regards, Jason

I bought at an auction a tool that I thought might be to do with steelmaking but now think it may be to do with printing presses as the brand is Fairfax, have put the photo's on, anyone know what it is?
