[misterpop]

Well I'll go to our house and back..Just looked closely at this thinking it would have the Cobra name on the rocker boxes and guess what??. A first mention of Lledo a full ten years before they came out.......Did I miss something here?.Discuss.......

I think there was another incident of this happening but can not remember the details, I seem to recall seeing Two examples possibly on our old forum, anyone else remember?

I don't remember another example but I remember we discussed this feature. Was it really that long ago?

#49 chop suey has ANGUS on the rocker covers I don't know if this is the other one you was referring to Ghosty

That could be it Reg...ANGUS, although I don't know who Angus could be, maybe another toolmaker. By the same token, it is odd that the LLEDO name should appear on the other model because Jack Odell took semi-retirement in 1973, maybe he just had time to do the 'Stingaroo' before leaving!

Of course, I remember the Aberdeen Angus reference now

Thanks Johnboy, nice bit of searching, but if the ANGUS is for the Bull mascot, why did the Stingaroo not have SKIPPY on the rocker as there is a Kangaroo mascot on the rear!!
