Description
‘Mitchell & Co.’ were agricultural implement manufacturers based in Melbourne, Victoria. John Mitchell (born 1859), was originally apprenticed to Hugh Lennon, another prominent manufacturer of farm implements. Mitchell & Co. came into being in 1891.
It’s quite amazing to see the development and improvement of the machinery he was involved in. His implements were quite diverse. Consequently, he manufactured many different implements and farm machines. As it says in one of their advertisements – “Everything for Farm, Orchard, Dairy Road and Sheep”.
This comprehensive historic record has been researched and compiled by Ken Arnold. ‘Mitchell & Co.’ is very detailed and accurate. It contains a multitude of photos and sketches of the implements. Also, there are many photos of original advertisements .
Furthermore, this book makes for great reference material for anyone working or researching in this field. Maybe, you have found the remnants of a piece of machinery or implement you wish to identify? See what you can discover by reading through this book. Definitely worth taking a look!
Check out the other books we carry in the Ken Arnold collections of the old farm machinery manufacturers. e.g. ‘John Buncle & Son’ and ‘J Nicholson & Co’.
