Antique saw thread

Wright? What model??

Yes, more information is required.

I'm not too sure, I think we have a few, but the one I clearly remember is in the showroom, up on top of a product shelf and doesn't have a chain but a reciprocating knarly saw blade. Russ said he bought 5 or 6 back in the day when he was cutting in Montana.


I have puctures, but I would need to connect to a computer to resize since it takes 5+ mins per photo to load up to here.

Wright made several models of those reciprocating saws, they were poor wood cutters but made very good trimming/pruning saws in the orchards and cut meat n bone real well, they don`t need lubrication on the cutting blade.

Here are a few in the shop. We have a ton more in the back of the shop and in another building as well. I suspect most have minimal value, but they are neat to keep around for holding down the shelfs haha!

And good on bridge timbers as well.

The orange and yellow saw in the above pics is the one that says "Bulldog".

Here a few more, it cut me off at 10.

 

[pioneerguy600]

That orange and yellow saw in your picts is a frankensaw, made up from parts off a Strunk model 3-19 and a David Bradly 355 sold by Sears and likely made by Roper. The recoil has Bulldog on it as that was the name of the recoil assembly used on these saws. I have both of these saws in my lil collection.

Here are some pictures of Mall 2 man chainsaws. I believe these saws were made in the late 40's, maybe 47 or 48

Mine isnt too old (late 70s) but it is original and unused
Poulan 306a

 

[pioneerguy600]

Very nice 306A, good solid old saws they were. My dad and I each bought one in 1979 and ran them full tilt for 5 years, bit hand numbing but real workhorses.

Pretty sure we have at least 2 of those laying around at the shop if you all need parts saws.
