It's one of the ones with those blades that spin when you push it


Answer
No real market for this kind of thing, unless it was pre 1920, someone might give 20 bucks for it because all they want it for is a lawn ornament to put next to the steel milk cans. Collectors sometimes lay out some decent money for the ones that were converted to power mowers by industrious homeowners who had a subscription to Popular Science back then, but it's hit and miss because the creativity of the individual conversion is what drives the price there.

Why are lawn mowers so expensive?

I've been wanting to start a mowing business but I've been having trouble figuring out the prices for mowers. You can buy a nice self propelled 21" mower for $300 but then if you want a 32" mower suddenly the price shoots up to about $1500. Why do lawn mowers cost so much? You can buy a riding lawn mower for the price of a 32".


Answer
Mower manufacturers have mowers they usually sell to home owners, or people that just mow for themselves. Then they have their "commercial" line of mowers, always more expensive. Just know, they all make the grass shorter.
Commercial units are usually built a bit stronger. Maybe a better motor with longer maintenance times, heavier built decks and blades, bigger gas tanks, oil filters to increase longevity. If I was starting out, I would go to craigslist(dot)org. I have always found several mowers, riders, commercial, and push mowers, as well as trimmers, trailers and any other tool you might need. Most people live close to 2 to 4 markets of CL that offer a variety of products.
So, buy used, as you develop the business, you will see and appreciate specific models and brands, then you can splurge on your favorite power tool.
