How old is vintage

[alderman]

How old does a saw have to be before it is vintage?
Saws from the 60's are 50 years old now.

Depends what what the grandkids call ya, mine say" you old papa". Then you could probably use that to judge your saw.

To me vintage is no limiter caps. Pre epa

 

[Yotaismygame]

Coming from someone younger, early 80's and older.

Depends. Some might consider a 2 series Husky vintage, others might consider a pre-chainbrake saw vintage, and others might consider it starts with even older saws.

I'd call a saw I wouldn't use daily vintage, so most anything 60s and older. Maybe some 70s models as well.

Or if you have one that most of the parts are NLA.

Thanks Steve, now I know I’m not old, just “vintage.”

For me it’s pretty simple. If it came before Husqvarna anti-vibe. So 1969.

Yeah that’s vintage to me too

I agree with epa being a milestone. Making split models like 359 interesting old but not vintage.

Pretty much everything I use right now is 90's vintage or just old?

You have a pic of that Wright reciprocating saw? Those things are bad!

I don't just now. Will get one soon. Not good light in the shed.

I agree and so light. Unfortunately I think thats partly why the cylinders didn't hold up well.

To me it's 2 series husqvarna and 0.. stihl. They've been removed from my comercial work for 10-15 maybe 20 years.

I was going to say anything without a chain brake, but I agree with your opinion more.

Heck, forget anything without a chain brake, how about no chain!

Might as well post a pic of it when you post the Wright.

It would make you cry. It ran 15yrs ago when put there. Right under the spot the roof busted open. Long story but she's seized places no ottawa should be.
