Value of Gleaner Ball Bearing Manual Border Mower?

I have a Gleaner ball bearing, single wheeled border mower from Townsend's in Bloomfield New Jersey and wanted to know when it might be from and how much it might be worth. I have looked it up and cannot find any like it, it is in amazing condition and nothing seems to be missing any parts. Thank you.

Without a photo, I can't be 100% certain this one is an apples to apples match to yours (apples to apples is critical when pricing)...it is a Gleaner...and sold in the NJ area for $100.31 (that price included shipping, so the seller needed to subtract out upward of $30 depending on where it was shipped to).

NOTE...when you are using an online site to help you value an item...always use the SOLD option (what people actually are paying for an item) versus what people are asking. People can ask the world, but the true current market value is what someone actually paid for an item.

If you are looking to sell...you may want to consider starting in the $60-$70 range as a good starting point then have an or best offer number in your head (the least you will take).

If you asking to insure it, you would want to go the higher $100 route (talk to your insurance person to verify their opinion since they are the experts though).

If you are selling...it is all about supply and demand...the online venues get you the most exposure (demand) but unless there are only a few available (supply) and you are comfortable with the hassles of shipping it...you may want to consider a more local approach.

If you are going the local sale route (ad in paper, local social media, swap paper, flea market or yard sale) it is still about supply and demand...so, before you take that route, walk around to other sales or carefully read your local online marketplaces and see if anyone has one (NO would be a good sign...low supply---then you hope for high demand) and what they are asking...you don't want to over price yours or the competitor wins...don't want to undervalue as you lose.

Hope you find this helpful! I have been selling second hand items for over 40 years now and while I still have a lot to learn, and learn daily, I love sharing the basic lessons I have learned over the years!
