pmackellow 2,728 #1 Posted July 11, 2014 If you can find them, the annual price book issued by the Country Gentlemans Association of Letchworth, Herts, are always worth a read. There's loads of horticultural machinery and items no Country Gent of the post war period could do without, some of the adverts have been copied for display purposes with some of my machines. I have annuals from 1952, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1968, today a 1958 edition arrived courtesy of a seller on that well known auction website... Has anyone else got any of these annuals ?? 1 vegikev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S1g 579 #4 Posted July 11, 2014 The nearest thing I've got is mechanical aids to the small holding by Desaules . An absolutely essential read. I'm sure its circa 1955. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 524 #5 Posted July 12, 2014 Wow Paul. That's an awesome find . Collecting documents I feel is just as important as collecting machines. Collecting documentation throws up some really interesting facts. Great purchase Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,728 #6 Posted July 12, 2014 Thanks for your comments guys, I find some of the brochures etc very interesting because not only do they help date a machine but sometimes show implements and accessories that aren't that common, so worth adding to your collection...
