This is a vintage MontanaMower, your model was made in the late 1940s-1950s.
I found advertisements with the same as your lawn mower model: www.tractorbynet.com/

The Montamower was patented in 1923, and that may have been the first year of actual production. The mower was sold by the Montamower Sales Co. of Grand Rapids, Mich., from 1923 until about 1962.
"A disc mower, the MontaMower had a series of nine pairs of disc blades, with nine cutting teeth on each disc. Each pair of discs was on top of the other. As they rotated toward each other, they cut the grass. The pairs of blades were attached in a line across the front of the mower. This was a new concept in cutting grass. To my knowledge, the MontaMower was the only mower of any kind to use it.
The discs, being small, were low to the ground when working, thus cutting the grass short. The discs were arrayed across the entire face of the mower, cutting edge to edge, which meant that as you cut, you also trimmed. The MontaMower was advertised as being two tools in one, a mower and a trimmer.
I found MontaMower the same model as yours (48" tall, 16 5/8" wide across the blade head, 16 Cutting wheels or blades, works as well as it did when new, the name is also says "Made by the Monta Mower Company"), the price is $199 picclick.com/
