The Adriance Hay Mower Working Salesman Sample
<B>Adriance Hay Mower Working Salesman Sample in Original Box.</B></I> As the directions on the inside of the lid imply, this is not a toy. It is a working example of the Adriance, Platt & Co. model 110 hay mower. When removed from the box the model unfolds to 21" long, with a wheel base of 8.75". The mower blade extends from the side approximately 9" and will move with a realistic scissor-like action of the blade. To replace it in the carrying box, the mower is carefully folded over and handles reversed to a flat position. Neatly positioned in the box the display model is protected from breakage in its original box which has a metal plaque reading; "Model No. 110 Property of Adriance, Platt & Co., Poughkeepsie, NY.". Original patina, colorful stenciling and excellent, near mint condition certainly make this a real gem.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
