Patent awards, sometimes called patent plaques, are a kind of trophy companies may give to recognize their in-house inventors. These are usually engraved by some process and my either be a handheld/free-standing trophy or even a wall-hanging plaque.

I had a patent approved while working for my former company. Can I use the patent after I leave the company?

It depends on the employment contract you may have had with your previous employer. Some stipulate that anything you invent or develop while in their employment become their property. On the other hand - if your invention had nothing to do with your employment, and it was something you developed away from company property and on your own time, you may have a perfectly valid sole claim to it.

When was the lawn mower patented?

Ancient Romans - and Scythians - used a scythe for mowing lawns at times. I found no year of origin, though.

Edwin Budding in 1830 patented the reel type lawn mower, which is purely mechanical.

The only thing I could find on the gas powered types more familiar nowadays was that according to Wikipedia, Power Specialties Ltd. came out with them in the 1930s.

For environmental and money saving purposes, the purely mechanical - without gas or electricity - are the best. True, one must sharpen the blades now and again, but it is not as frequently as one must fill up the conventional ones with gas.

What is the value of a Stephen Grant's Patent side by side shotgun?

Stephen Grant built guns that had a reputation for very high quality but he did not have a reputation for innovation. For a time, mostly in the 1880s, Grant built side lever, trigger plate action guns based on Horatio Phillips's 1879 patent. This patent was notable for using coil springs. They are lovely guns but were superseded in time, most notably by the trigger plate action of the Edinburgh maker, Dickson. Worth of antique guns depends very heavily upon the condition of the piece and finding a buyer. A Stephen Grant (Phillips) Patent gun in very good condition would probably sell for something around £3,000 or $4,800. That figure should be taken only as a point on a very wide scale of variation.
