Yep, an old 2 stroke Lawnboy, I bought it new sometime around '92-'93. I have done nothing to it other than replace the coil, clean the air filter, and give it a bath a few times. Hell I think it still has the original sparkplug in it. I have always made it a point in any 2 stroke engine I've owned to mix the oil a bit heavy, maybe an ounce or so. The thing just purrs away...
When I bought it there was a paper that came with it that stated, if I owned the mower for 25 years and it was still running, Lawnboy would give me a new mower. Sadly, that never happened since Lawnboy was gobbled up by Toro I believe. Today a Lawnboy is a Lawnboy in name only, heck I think the new one's have a 4 stroke engine on them.

'92-93 ? I didn't think they offered 2-strokes that late ... Pretty Sure, Not in Calif
I currently have a couple 2-stroke Toros ... approx '81-'82 vintage (one might be earlier)
