Rare 1968 Sunbeam Lawnmower

I just came across this 1968 Sunbeam lawnmower on ebay that has never been used. Looks like a really cool antique lawnmower...with a not-so-cool price!

Now that is awesome!! I LOVE seeing things like this and it would fit so perfectly into a lawnmower museum if there ever was such a thing. What a fun piece it would be to have, but most definitely NOT for anything near a grand though.

For some reason a lot folks think they are sitting on a gold mine on things like this and make their price accordingly, but it's pretty hard pressed to find somebody who'll pay that kind of cash for something that didn't cost anywhere near that price when it was new.

Her ya' go, this is where it should be. Austen, check out the mower closest to the camera in the second photo.

Cool stuff there! Good eye on catching the Lawn Queen! I wonder if it runs?

The listing is ended and it says it's sold for $850! Someone has money...

I just came across another interesting Sunbeam electric reel on eBay also.
