What are your oldest saws?

[Mike Van]

All mine are old, a late 60's XL 101 & XL 113 - About the same era XL 400 & my 'newest' 1972 041 . Use them all, most everyday.

1960 Barker Super C80. It was free and required a $5 carb kit to make it run.

Let's see...

McCulloch 3-25, 1950
McCulloch 47, 1953
Strunk Shur Kut, 1957
McCulloch 35, 1957

I think all of the rest are 60's vintage and newer.

This is the McCulloch Model 47, the 3-25 looks very similar.

Well - - I do have some old stuff, but, the Ottawa log saw is the oldest. Probably early 40ish .

Thanks for all the input guys. It's quite interesting. I don't see many Malls or Distons or two-man saws. I's gots to gets me one of them someday.

The average age of my collection is rapidly aging. I was pretty wrapped up in nothing but later model Stihls for quite a while. That has been diversified quite a bit as I acquire older Homelites, Macs, David Bradley, etc. I'd love to have a Contra/Lightning someday as well as a 2-man saw. Here are my current oldest saws and when they were introduced.

Homelite Zip - 1958
Homelite SXL-925 - ? admittedly not as old
Mac 1-52 - 1962
Mac 10-10A - 1969 actual sale date
David Bradley 917.60029 - 1965
Stihl 07S - 1965
Stihl 08S - 1965
Stihl S10 - 1968

My Mac 3-25, a 47, and a 33 are all from the early 50's......

I want a Super 33..........I think they're cool looking......

Great topic and a good time to jump in and make my first post.
My oldest is an pneumatic Reed-Prentice Timberhog 24" that requires 90cfm at 90-105 psi. They were used in WWII and the service manual I have is dated September 1942. The small chain in the pic is .325.
