From the gardens of country estates to the manicured greens of public parks, the name Ransomes was synonymous with precision and pride. This elegant monochrome advert showcases a beautifully engraved model of their renowned lawn mower, flanked by bold text and topped with the Royal Arms — a mark of royal appointment that lent prestige to this Ipswich-based manufacturer.

Though undated, the design, typography, and language strongly place the advert in the Edwardian or late Victorian period, a time when mechanical innovation in domestic tools was accelerating. Produced by Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies Ltd., the company boasted improvements “contained in no other machines,” a bold claim befitting one of the oldest manufacturers of lawn mowers in the world. Measuring approximately 2⅛ x 4⅛ inches, it’s a tall, finely composed piece of advertising with historical weight.

For collectors of industrial design, horticultural equipment, or Royal Warrant memorabilia, this original piece of print advertising offers rich historical value. It is preserved in decent vintage condition and serves as a proud emblem of British mechanical ingenuity and royal recognition.
