Welcome To The Old Lawnmower Club
The Old Lawnmower Club was formed in 1990 to promote the collection, preservation and display of lawn mowers made from 1830 onwards. We now have more than 500 members around the world.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in old lawn mowers. We participate in a number of events throughout the year at museums, garden shows, vintage rallies and steam fairs. You can find out more about what we do on this site.
Mowers On National Geographic TV
Old lawn mowers are featured in Britain's Greatest Machines on the National Geographic channel in the UK (available on Sky and Virgin) on Saturday 20 February at 9pm. The show is presented by Chris Barrie (Rimmer the hologram in Red Dwarf) and features machines from a different decade each week. This week it's the 1920s and the show includes Chris trying out an Atco Standard. That's all we know but if you wanted to choose one mower from the 1920s it would have to be the Standard. You can see more about the show, with still images and a short preview video at the link below.
Modern Mowers Most Popular
The results of our first visitor poll are now in and it's a resounding "yes" for the modern machine. More than half of the 120 voters said their favourite era of mower was "Post 1945". This might come as a bit of a surprise to some collectors but the votes don't lie.
Thanks to everyone who voted. There's a new poll to try out and we'll await the results with keen interest.
Meanwhile, the results of the first poll are included below.
