Unknown 10" handmower
Hello,
I don't recognise the mower you have there, it is a complete stranger to me. It has an interesting curve in the handle, perhaps it was stored with some weight on one side!
Hopefully someone will pop up and tell us what it is.

Found this ad on internet it is from 1935 (lady in white) but wonder if she actually did cut grass. The firm Abner had premises in Solingen Germany, but does not exist anymore. Found a man aged 81 who worked on Abner machines, My machine is de Abner Bobby and was used by gardeners to cut the sides and various other restricted area's of a lawn . No sales literature or other photo's of this machine found. He told me that the machine was fitted with a tubelar X shaped push bar instead of wood. All other Abner handmowers were sidewheeldrive. May be there was a distributor in the UK, and if so may be they can produce picture of the Bobby as I am worried to make up new wood handle and later have to make a metal one. Who knows?
