Made by Monarch perhaps?

That's another variation. The one I've seen from MM paper work , in them pictures. It was based on the Indian chainsaws

Looks like a Fairbanks-Morse recoil. If the old bastad' has spark and compression it could run. Ignition system might be a Wico or something serviceable. Are there any markings on the carburetor?

Just imagine a full day cutting with one of those old saws back then... those guys would have traded a kidney for a 372xp.
