Does not mean it is not related! barker as well as many others did some private labeling! I will have to see if I still have it but I had a barker that looked identical except the color! It may not be but it sure looks like her!
That is a rebaged saw for the Belknap Blue Grass hardware stores.
Not sure which one, but Belknap was a hardware line.

Is the muffler up front?
Not right now I don't. I have seen this discussion before, I'll see if I can dig it up.
Seems I remember talk about some of them being rebadged Clintons. Also some later ones were Remingtons.
Like I said, just going from memory. Out of time tonight to look any farther.

If the exhaust is up front it probably is a clinton! I just looked at my old barker and it is virtually identical except for the exhaust! Another one that was similar in the day was lombard!
More Bluegrass pics
Look at these compared to the Remington pics. My bar even is a Remington bar. I am also tickled to see that it is related to Mall saws. I think I heard that Remington bought out Mall.

Yup, Remington bought out Mall. In about 1957... and later became DESA.
Belknap Hardware in Kentucky bought chainsaws from Clinton, at first, and later Remington. They re-badged them as Blue Grass chainsaws, put their labels and stickers on 'em...If you want to research a little more about Belkna[ history, try this site:

Your saw is not common... It's a fine collectible.
Another interesting and hard-to-find chainsaw brand is the Grass Queen...
Like the Bluegrass saws, they were re-badged... Some of the old saws from the middle Midwest (Kentucky, Missouri) are hard to find, nowadays... Important pieces of North American chainsaw history!!
