Hi,
This is very interesting. Could you please give us some better pictures?
The way the year is given, it sems to be AD 1888 - and that would be unusual.

Thank you both; I appreciate any help that could be given. My wife is in charge of the picture dept. and I am afraid that I won't get any more pictures until I finish cutting the lawn..........hope it doesn't rain tomorrow !

Whilst the subject of translation is discussed, a number of the type have a gold or brass plug in the blades with a symbol on it. I know I've seen this mentioned in the forum in years past but I can not locate it and would like to know the meaning and translation behind this too if anyone is aware of it?
