Re: Hundreds of phonographs for sale
Haha! I think the rolling of the lawn was as important as mowing it. I remember as a child all those big Victorian houses where we lived always had a big cast iron roller rusting away behind some shed or outbuilding. I couldn’t shift one! Probably there since the house was built but not used in many decades.epigramophone wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 6:52 amThe perfect excuse to buy a ride on mower.

When I say space it just goes on and on... and then another building and another. Mind you I wouldn’t like mowing the lawn.

Re: Hundreds of phonographs for sale
Well I found that quite fascinating. What you learn from these threads. I started off looking at an impressive collection of phonographs and motor cars in Kansas and ended up seeing a steam powered lawn mower working.Curt A wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 3:03 pmThat lawn mower is perfect... who wouldn't want a steam powered riding mower?epigramophone wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 6:52 amThe perfect excuse to buy a ride on mower.
