Anyone familiar with an old style Reo reel lawnmower?

I've got this old Reo lawnmower that's been sitting in my garage for years (came with the house). It looks like one of those old reel lawnmowers, but it actually is motorized. I've tried finding info for it on line, with no luck. I saw a couple similar to it on display at a county fair last week with the farm antiques, and I'd like to find out it's age.

Any help would really be appreciated!

    I bought a used one in 1965. It ran well for a few years. Was good if the grass didn't get to high.

    If you want to try and start it check to see if has spark. The try some fresh gas. Good luck

    If it has a Briggs and Stratton engine, you can get the date of manufacture from the serial/model numbers.
