What is the most aesthetically pleasing saw?

Seeing this thread awhile back

I started thinking, what is the most aesthetically pleasing saw.

I don't care about weight, performance, or manufacturer. Just the saws that look cool. I had never seen this remington before. It just has that Buck Rogers kind of look to it. I also love the old Stihl 090's with dual bucking spikes. Stylish and mean lookin.

Old homelites, like the Zip. Big, heavy, manly saws. Classic '50s styling.

There are many others, but I want to know what you think. Include pictures if possible.

For me its the gear drive saws, not that I want to run them all day but they look cool.

The one that always looks best to me is the one that ran all day without a hiccup, started first or second time, and breezed through that last tough SOB that you thought your were gonna have to leave till tomorrow!

I really like the lines of my early 90's 044, and I have long thought that the 036 was the cleanest looking saw.

The strength and style in the classic lines of the SP125 call back to a time when American saws ruled the woods.

Poulan 4000 and MAC PM-800 are some of my favorites. In the older stuff, probably Pioneer RA for me.

The old Pioneer's look nice,

Can you really argue against the PM 610 as the best looking saw ever produced?

I suppose they have their uses

I like the P series Pioneers.

I prefer the rugged looking saws. Like this here Mall 7, no fancy curves or excessive covers to hide its 'uglyness'. They just look mean.

EDIT: This is not my saw. I got the pics from www.bigdmc.com (Darrin's Chainsaws)

How did you attach that new style primer to the inside of the airbox? I need to do that to the one that Dean has.

It's just wedged in there, a very tight fit.

I have always liked the looks of the 064/066 saws of this era. Also love the looks of an 056 MagII!

What is the most aesthetically pleasing saw?

or,,,pleasing to look at


for me the lightning contra from stihl was a leader in design. this pic shows the transition from the blk series to the new contra .

the contra was also far ahead of all others in performance at that time. ( 1959 )..

not like all the boxy looking saws but more streamlined,, aerodynamic looking.

this series saw also had a long run from 1959 to mid 80's. ( US sales ).. ( 1106, 1109 )
contra 59-67. 090 68- to current production in other countries

That is a beautiful saw! Classic design. Love the old ads as well.
