Actually, I gotta kind of apologize, just kinda. I hope that this is one of the original little tillers that they made. Those were great machines instead of the bulky horse which at times in small places can really be a handful. As such, if it is one of the originals, with the craftsmanship of manufacture present back in those days, one can easily ask what NEW ones that are produced now. Perhaps doubling is a bit much; but golly if you put the "vintage" label on it who knows...........Dennis
