Does anyone have or know where I can find a listing of the original sale prices for old lawn Boys? There is an old embossed tag on the shroud of my 5238 with $114.95 on it. I wonder if that could be the original selling price in 1969?

Unclelee's ad copies really illustrate how relatively expensive the old two-stroke Lawn Boys were. The ad from 1973 shows $99.50. That same year, my Dad bought a conventional Briggs powered mower for $50.00. It lasted only a few seasons. When you look at how many of these old Lawn Boys are still running, it only proves that you got what you paid for. BTW, I just love looking at those old ads. They take me back to a time when many products were easily serviced and made to last.
Because women ( if they did work ) worked in offices and men worked in factories so men could tell sh#t from clay and were not afraid to pay for quality
Back in 1972 $ 99 was what , a week's wages , a fourtnites pay , a months pay ?
now days people pay less than 1 days pay for a push mower & expect to get a quality item
For a weeks pay they demmand a ride on.
and as you said you only get what you pay for.
