'Turnback Tuesday' features Ideal Engine and Mower Service in Derby

Turnback Tuesday looks at a long-standing business: Ideal Engine and Mower Service, started by co-owners David W. Gilbert and Frank L. Blaze on Derby-Milford Rd in 1963. David ran the business until 1987.

Then John D. O’Brian took over and continued until 2012. Surely there are items purchased from this business that are still being used today.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
