I don't have one but our local Snapper/Stihl dealer has a couple of these on display in his show room. These look really old.

I bought an edger years ago from a "lawnmower guy" in Orlando. He talked my ear off while I was there and his pride and joy was a Snapping Turtle push mower. It had a wide roller after the blade and the blade assembly cut with two sickle-bar blades. He still mowed with it.
