    I think you might mean a "reel mower" – it's not gas or electric, runs purely by human force! We used one when we seeded our lawn and the new grass was too tender for a regular mower. We got it for $20 or so at Lowe's or Home Depot.

    Originally they were called reel mowers, but today they are Eco friendly.

    Reel (cylinder) mowers
    There are four major types of reel mower: push, walk behind power, ride-on power, and tow-behind gang mower. Push mowers are powered by people pushing them and are usually used on very small lawns

    Rotary mowers
    Rotary mowers are often powered by internal combustion engines. Such engines can be either two-stroke or four-stroke cycle engines, running on gasoline or other liquid fuels. Internal combustion engines used with lawn mowers normally have only one cylinder. Power generally ranges from two to seven horsepower (1.5 to 5.25 kW). The engines are usually carbureted and require a manual pull crank to start them, although an electric start is becoming a sales feature in some countries.

    Not sure how old a mower you were looking for.

    Hope I helped.
