Has anyone ever heard of.........

[Paul Bunyan]

Has anyone ever heard of a Columbia chainsaw? Apparently the were made by Columbia Manufacturing Inc. located in Strasburg, OH.
Does anybody have any information about them? Own one? or have pictures of one?

Strasburg? I thought the amish did not use power tools! Ha! Just joking, but I am sure I will get flamed by someone!

I forgot to mention this would be an older vintage saw, it is not current. I dont know the exact years they were made.
Anybody??

 

[Paul Bunyan]

I figured Columbia was rare but I also figured someone on here would know about them.

Well, Mike's site: http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/GasbyManufacturer?OpenView
is the place to go for info, and he shows nothing......

No, I've heard of Columbian Vices, a knock-off made in China vice. Some association with Wilton vice, used to be American made, maybe still is.

remember, Mike's site is a work in progress, which means the saw in question may be awaiting Mike to list it on there, as soon as he's got some info on it.

Hello all
I've heard through the grapevine that Columbia saws were actually
rebadged Remingtons .
Again this is not known just what a guy at work had mentioned.

Thanks for the link and your comments! I know I have been to that site before but had forgotten about it.
I'd still like to hear some more info if anybody else has anything to add.

Welcome j.fritter!

No one can say that you did not use the search function!

How about a picture of that classic saw?

Seems no one here knows much about them.

The last poster to this thread did appear here on 9-9-09 so maybe if you leave him a personal message he will stop by again and maybe respond with some info on those manuals.
