How early? White top saws are in high demand if they turn up in good shape. The newer 55/55 Rancher saws have quite a following and the closed port versions bring a premium.
Not as a whole but minty examples of certain models such as 346, 357, and 262's will continue to surge in value.
I have a fine-running 257 and a fine-running 51 that will hold its own against the 257. Do I ever intend to sell either one of them? Ans. Never in my lifetime.How early?

I had a 51 and while it wasn't big or bulky it wasn't as slim or balanced like the 346/353 is . It didn't feel as comfortable when limbing waist high or above.I have a fine-running 257 and a fine-running 51 that will hold its own against the 257. Do I ever intend to sell either one of them?

However, I fear that I may be out of line. The thread title is "... little Husqvarna ..." and these may not be considered "little". Please advise.
543XP will be a perfect saw for youI been eyeing a new husky 543xp. For the collection. Probably my last brand new husky saw.
I know the filter & horn are larger. But look at the the other end. The part that connects the carb to the cylinder. I don't remember the particulars, but it was not worth using the 357 over the 346 intake. The parts are in saws now, so can't compare.Here’s pics of the 357 Xp / 359 intake. Notice the oval air cleaner mounting?

Here’s the larger carb horn to match the larger air filter housing.

This matches up with the larger 359/357 Xp carb.
I love my little 44. 1984 model. It's light, excellent power for it's size. And it just looks good!
