What is your "crown jewel"

[Modifiedmark]

Good to see this thread rise up again. I like seeing others Jewels and hearing why they are the Jewels.

Seems I have aquired a few more Jewels myself since this thread was started.

 

[procarbine2k1]

Not quite sure which one my "jewel" is, but could never part with my 064, 031, 056, or 372 (sentimental reasons). From a collection standpoint, I really love the Homelite 540/8800- JD 550CS models. I dont have any good pics of the JD, but will try to find a couple of the 540...

Pair of my favorites. Enjoy showing them although most people are less than impressed.

Only have two left :\ but even when i had many it was this one

You impressed me Mitch. Nice pair.

Speaking of nice pairs, this pair is special to me and like you said it might not impress most as they dont realize this might be the only pair of these in the US. There also Partner/Pioneer era saws and have the gray handles as such but they only say Partner on them as there from Europe.

A Partner 5500H and a Partner 540.

Very nice, Mark. I hadn't seen those yet. This sight is just to big lol.

My 041 AV w/ bow bar...soon to be restored along with a C7 that i just received for 25 bucks.

This late model ProMac 10-10s is pretty nice:

Love that red one, I am in no way a old saw or homelite guy, but I would like to have one like that!

I gots nuttin

Well, I don't have any saws I am particularly proud of or that others would find interesting. Just tools. I guess it's like a tool box of Craftsman wrenches, nothing special but get the job done. A while back a thread asked what saw you would never part with. I don't have any of those either. Someday I'll get something cool and become attached to it. maybe...

[roger m]

Then the crown of the collection Homelite 995G

I also have a few Poulan 8500's but they need cleaned up for photo's

 

[Brian VT]

This one is my jewel. I have a really nice 28" roller-nose Oregon bar on it now.
Yeah, I do cut with it (on special occasions).

This one is mine, it doesn't look like much but with the woods port I gave it it sure does surprise people out in the woods:
