Welcome to LongBar Washington.

Dang! Wonder what oil mix I'd need to run that on my Echo 400?

Just a little show of what came in the mail today
An early Contra with no manual olier, still got the rubber on the on/off, chipguide and the guidebars fittet back then. Not many Contras has this.

I have had this early Lightning for years but just got around to installing a new piston in it. The other one I just picked up a few weeks ago. Both wear 27" Oregon Rollers.

Very nice saws you got there, and early and a late Lightning. Is the serial on the early one under 100.000?

I just picked up this McCulloch 47 last night for $45. It's my first antique saw. I plan to do a restoration. It looks like the recoil handle is not original but I don't know what the right one would look like. If anyone has any comments, thoughts or pointers, I'm planning to restore this saw someday when I get a little time.

Who made this little Western Auto Wizard saw? It looks like an O&R made saw, but not sure. What do you guys think.

I have a question for you guys.
What do you consider a Antique saw? Is there a year cutoff like in cars, 20 years or older, prewar etc.?

I guess it depends on how old you are. When I was 21 I thought the 66 Chrysler 300 I was driving was an antique.
