Trade Card for the Clipper Mower Made by Chadborn & Coldwell Mfg. Co., 1880-1890
01
Artifact Overview
In the late 1800s, improved transit allowed suburbs to grow around cities. Well-kept lawns were a key feature of a suburban home, and the lawn mower was an essential tool. Early mowers were often heavy and hard to push, though this trade card suggests that using the "Clipper" lawn mower was like a walk in the park.
