The term hannekemaaier comes from the name Johannes, usually abbreviated to Hannes[1] and is taken from the day of traditional entry into service, Saint John's Day (June 24).[2] Another name is grass sleeve.[3][4]\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first hand mowers came to mow grass. Because the Dutch were interested in German merchandise, some Dutchmen started taking them with them in baskets carried on their backs. In Groningen they were called kiepkeerls and Veelnks (Westfalingers). An estimated 140,000 hanneke mowers from present-day Germany settled permanently in the Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Dated around 1640, large oxhead corner, delft blue , holland 17th century\u003cbr\u003e\nIt's in good condition\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n130 x 130 x 11 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\nAmount: 1  \u003cbr\u003e\nSize (approximately) 13 by 13 cm's \/ 5.1\" by 5.1\"\u003cbr\u003e\nTile thickness (approx.) 1 cm \/ 0.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\nPeriod: 1640\u003cbr\u003e\nCorner motifs volute\u003cbr\u003e\nCentury 17th century\u003cbr\u003e\nMade in The Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\nRestoration No\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nALSO in this moment ANTIQUE WHITES IN STOCK\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThank you for your interest in this item!
