What year did they start making Gravely two wheelers? Who on here has the oldest one??? Is it the same as the L?

Hello,
Coincidentally, over on the Y*h*o Group, Ray Denny just posted a few photos of the [one would assume] very first Gravely from 1913!! And it is being operated by Mrs. Elizabeth Gravely! Wow!

I've had two '37s. Both now belong to Shoman666 -- who doesn't seem to be on the forum much anymore. Mark (BlownL) also had a '37 that managed to keep its dual tank for 74 years! Anyone want to guess who owns that now?

The oldest known surviving Gravely is a Model D made in 1924. The oldest L is the 1935 L Serial Number 2 owned by Craig Seabrook, founder of what now is GTCOA. I own a 1940 L with the 12 screw wheels.

If I'm reading this correctly, I have a '45 Postal. (I'd welcome offers or trades for it)

 

[LilysDad]

Why is it called a Postal?

 

[Seebo]

I believe the US postal service used them, and they were painted special colours (yellow) and labelled property of the US postal service.
