Vintage Push Reel Lawn Mower – c.1940s–50s

A classic manual push reel lawn mower with original red side wheels and timber handle — a nostalgic reminder of backyard Saturdays long before whipper snippers and cordless lithium batteries. These early hand-mowers were beautifully simple: no fuel, no noise, no fuss — just a clean mechanical cut powered by elbow grease.

Now sought after for rustic garden styling, shed décor, café displays, vintage tool collections, photo props and window dressing. The timber is in great honest condition with a lovely grain, and the metalwork shows light surface rust and age, adding perfect character.

Does it work?
The blades turn freely, but this piece is primarily sold as décor. A light sharpen and oil would bring it back to life if desired.

Dimensions:
Approx. 122cm tall × 44cm wide

Condition:
Honest wear and patina throughout. Original paint remnants, age marks and surface rust consistent with decades of use.

Perfect for:
• vintage garden displays
• man cave / shed styling
• retro café or florist props
• museum-style tool collections
• photo shoots & theatre sets
