These types of mowers sell for 60-75 dollars online. That is the average value that people are willing to pay for one. There are a very few cases that a person has paid a bit more for one of these. That normally is through an online forum for lawnmowers. There could be a person has looked around for years for this very mower and they are willing to pay you a bit more to get it for their collection.

I guess my first question would be; how do you know it was made 1912?
Are there any markings or numbers anywhere?
Is there any of the original color still showing?

Does the mower have all steel wheels?
Does it appear to have the original blades (this may show some indication of how much it was used)?
Has this been in the family or is it a purchase?
All of these questions/answers will help if you try to sell this mower.

As a general rule, most mowers like this will be listed for sale as 'pick up only' as shipping would be expensive.
This means that your area will have a lot of bearing on the final value of your mower as some areas can use this mower while others would areas would have no use for a mower like this.
Without a brand name you will not find very many 'collectors' looking at this mower.

From looking at some sold 'no brand name' reel mowers (not easy to find) it appears they are selling for between $20-$150 but these are slow sellers and there is no way to tell how long the seller has had these mowers listed for sale.

Almost all sold mowers that I've found are for 'pick up only' so the area would have a lot to do with the sold price of the mower.Here is one similar mower listed for sale on eBay; notice the pictures and description so you can get an idea of how to list your mower - wherever you decide to list. You can place a 'watch' on this listing to see if it sells.

www.ebay.com/.../143663429005?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt...

www.ebay.com/.../362608297667?hash=item546d2386c3...

This a similar mower that sold for $129 with pick up only but take a look at the pictures, etc.

There are probably more reel mowers sold on eBay than any other site so check out their for sale listings to see if you see any mower closely resembling yours and you can place a watch on it to see if it sells.

Check out where it is located if it is listed as pick up only.

You have to remember that asking prices are just the price a seller would like too receive for their item as only a sold item - exactly the same as yours - can show true current value.
Of course that will never happen with a used reel mower so you just have to keep looking until you feel you know what to ask for your mower.
Here are the current sold listings on eBay so take a look for yourself.

You might want to read what others have said in the past:

You can send pictures to his site and see if they can provide any information.

www.tractorbynet.com/.../index.php

I would suggest you do a lot of reading on how to describe your mower and take a lot of pictures before listing for sale. You can list on eBay but listing on sites like Craigslist, USA4Sale, Facebook Marketplace and any other sites you wish.

You can start your price higher and lower it if no one shows an interest.
