Anyone running anything older than a 1948 Titan?

Using vintage Homelites SEZ, SXLAO's, 410, SXL12, C51 in the works.
The two Homies I got from my dad. Never been apart and they still start. The super XL still has more nuts than my 028 super, and that has been refreshed with a OEM topend.

My older saws are mainly for goofing off, but last winter on one rediculously cold morning I needed to cut some firewood quickly and this '63 Mac 15 was the only thing I could get started. It got me out of a jam.

I got a lil old Stihl 011 that flat rips for it's size, bought new back in the early eighties.
And McCulloch...
I grew up running these. I like the name and hate what became of them.
My dream is to buy back the American brands and make them into dominant brands once again.
I know, really long shot, but I guess I can still dream.

I cant seem to get rid of this one, although I've been trying, so maybe its a sign. I ran it a bit the other day. Anybody know what vintage it is? Im thinking early 70's late 60's?? Runs like a new one.

The Johnsereds 52 in my sig is my old saw. It was new in 1974 and replaced a Mac 10-10. I actually use the 52 often. I can't imagine using a Mac 10-10 often. Anything without good vibe isolation belongs in either a museum, or in someone else hands.
This is an older pict of some of my vintage runners, all these saws ran the day these picts were taken and each saw, except the big blue saw,cut one block of wood off, they all run like they were intended to when they were new.
The two oldest saws there are the blue ones lower right, the largest one is an 1948 IEL model AB and the other blue with yellow drive gear is a 1948 Titan 200.

Now there's a beautifully photographed,very sweet collection of first class,top-shelf magnesium. I gotta ask what sort that is behind the big Husky and to the left of the Titan Sportsman? You need to be quite proud!This is an older pict of some of my vintage runners, all these saws ran the day these picts were taken and each saw, except the big blue saw,cut one block of wood off, they all run like they were intended to when they were new.

If you are refering to the big blue one, it`s the IEL mod. AB mentioned in the subtitle on the pict post. Here is a close up of that new saw.
If this is not the saw you are refering to then let me know and I can post more picts of any of the others.

No, not the IEL, I recognise that one and it's almost perfect,but the one to the left of the Titan,behind the big Husky..............looking straight at the photo. It's orange with a full-wrap handle in black. Put up all the pics you want............I can look for a WHILE YET.

Ok, now I gotcha, that`s a rare one indeed or so I am told. It was made for Husqvarna by Crescent of Uppsala Sweden in the early 60`s.
I checked in the albums but it seems that a lot of the other picts I have of that saw were lost this summer when my other computer had a melt down, will have to take some more picts again soon and reload the albums.
