Looks interesting, can you cut some grass with it and take pictures of what kind of job it does?

I remember seeing the advertisements in magazines in the late 40's. I remember the ad showed a beautiful girl dressed in short shorts gliding one over the lawn and there was a fellow on the other side of a fence fully exhausted pushing a push type reel mower asking,"How would you trade, cousin?" She replied,"Not for a dozen!"
I have only seen one and it was in an almost museum setting. I do not think they worked very well. Now a collector item

A very cool little lawn mower at that! It's called a Monta Mower & they were made some time in the '50s. I haven't seen one with paint on it 'till this last weekend at the Sussex, Wi. thresheree.

I just heard about these and looked up some info a couple weeks ago. Here is some of the info I found.
The Monta Mower was manufactured by the Montague Manufacturing Company of Traverse City MI. The sales office was located in Grand Rapids MI. A wooden handle was used until the start of World War II. After the War a wire handle was adopted and in the 1950's rubber grips were added. The company was gone by 1962.

Got one hanging in my garage right now and remember when it got here.( about '48 or '49)It worked OK if the grass wasen't too thick or high but was a bear to push otherwise.
