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.

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.

The normal asking price for a vintage push mowers range from $60 to $150. The price is determined by supply and demand. If there are not many of this type of mower on the market the price is higher. If the market is flooded with this mower then this lowers your price.

I have a George Gear Drive tractor that has several attachments. I am curious how much it's worth, and if anyone else has one or at least parts. It was made by Community Industries in Sullivan Illinois.

It was made between 1948 and 1953. Please let me know what you can find. Any info would be appreciated.

As to the date, the panel is not clear enough to read the numbers.
Here are some links that might help you find the model and the year made.

It looks like your mower has been repainted and if it is a good job that will be a plus but if not, then that may take away from the value and it kinda looks like this was only partially reconditioned so that may not be a good sign as many people buy the old mowers and like to restore them.
Information you will need to provide if you wish to sell your mower will be as follows:
Is this a push or a self-propelled mower,
Blade cut size - inches
Engine brand & horsepower
All of this information should be on the mower (unless it has been painted over).

Here is a link to a 1986 very similar mower (nice looking condition) that sold for $50.
www.shoppok.com/.../a,35,84807,Vintage-Snapper-self-propelled...

Here is a similar mower (beautiful condition) that sold for $98.50 in 11/20.
www.ebay.com/.../274549485109?nordt=true&orig_cvip...

Mowers are usually listed as 'local pick up only' due to the high cost of shipping (and restrictions on gasoline) so your area will have a big bearing on the final value. Are push mowers popular or used in your area?

If you cannot determine the age of your mower you may be able to contact Snapper and ask for help.

I assume nothing. There was a massive recall on them in 1987. www.safety-recalls.org/cpsc-content-87-87029.html
