- Lot Description
American (New York), 1878. A rare hand-cranked lawn mower made by the Johnson Lawn Mower Company, mounted on a metal display stand; ht. 47.5, lg. 30.25 (base of stand), wd. 14 in. (across handles).
This American-made machine is an improved version of earlier English mowers. When applying for the patent (no. US204153), Frank G. Johnson noted: "My mower is made with a special view to simplicity of construction, strength, and efficiency, by doing more and better work for the force exerted than can be done by the ordinary form of lawn-mower in use, and, moreover, to produce such a machine at a cost fifty percent less than those now commonly offered for sale. My improvements consists in a great reduction of the number of parts or pieces to make up the apparatus in the general simplicity of construction in the increased relative strength of the working parts and their direct action; in the greatly-reduced weight; and particularly in making the rotation of the cutting-blades independent of and distinct from the movement of the machine over the ground".
Condition
Belt is a replacement. Breaks on hand wheel.
