Perhaps someone can help you with this but we really have to have more information or it will be very difficult to place a value other than just saying: vintage push lawn mowers are listed for sale on eBay for $25-$400 and sold mowers are about the same.
The value is based on sold listing of the same item as it shows what someone was willing to pay.
I cannot find any mower that is even similar as you have provided no information with which to search.
From the one picture it appears the mower has been repainted and was painted over old (maybe rusted?) frame. Was any of this the original color?

There is no information on approximate age or condition - does it run?
Also, where mower is located will generally have a big effect on value as these are 'local pick up only'. The pick up only is not just because of the weight/size but also due to the gasoline.

Perhaps someone else can help you with further information that I have not found.

You can always submit your picture and ask for information on forums but they do not usually provide any type of value but may be able to tell what brand mower you have.
You will have to join the group before posting.

It seems to me that you have 1950s Dunlap Electric Mower. Your lawnmower looks great, but I think that shipping will be really more expensive than the sale prize.

We recently came across this old Swivel Boy lawn mower and cannot find out any information about it. It only has three wheels. It is very different. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I found an old Clipper Mower Company mower. It it the sickle bar type that has blades that go back and forth when the wheels roll. It is very old, but is in good shape. Does anyone have any idea what it might be worth?

I can pick up this vintage Dayton high wheeled lawnmower for free. Would it be worth anything if I restore it?

There is very little known about this particular brand and it's possible it was made by a brand name company and sold to a store under 'their' brand.

There is a little more information available on the Dayton riding mower as everyone seems to think it was made by MTD but that does not mean your Dayton push mower was made by the same company.
I found a lot of information on Dayton lawn mower parts and it's possible this company may have made mowers under that name some years back but it's difficult to find a Dayton company website to even ask questions (mostly companies that sell Dayton parts for other machinery).

Here are some sites that may be able to help you with more information but not value.

I would say that judging by sales on eBay most of the running used mower sales are under $40 unless it is a brand name mower.

Your location will have the biggest impact on value as some areas still buy the older push mowers (cheap) while other areas may be 'ride on' only and no interest in used mowers.
I believe it would probably be a waste of time, money and energy to restore it - just my opinion.

You can look at the vintage push mowers listed for sale on eBay to get an idea of what people are asking for unknown brands but also notice they are usually local pick up only.
www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2323012...

Asking prices do not show value as only a sold item will show what someone was willing to pay for an item. You can see what this type mower is selling for but the big problem is that you have no way to know how long the item was listed for sale before it sold.

If you pick it up and it is running/usable then you could try some of the local sites like Craigslist, USA4Sale, etc and start your price at $60 and see how it goes - lower the price if no interest.

Here the Dayton Push Mower with 3 HP Briggs & Stratton engine was sold for $27: bid.beckortauctions.com/.../ As I understand it, you have mower 1950s-1960s. You can try to sell it for $50-75, but I'm afraid that due to the expensive shipping, not many people will want to buy it.

Huffy Mower. Model no. 52-16. I think it has a great overall look to it with its bold colors and lettering. I was curious if its actually worth any value?

Is it something I should hold on to? Or has the day come to set it out for the trash? Thank you!

We have an old Lawnboy from the 60s (or maybe earlier) with a "loafer" attachment. Does anyone have an idea where we might be able to find someone that would take interest in something like this?
