    Yeah, Wright Manufacturing made these saws back in the 50's-60's, don't think they were very practical as they didn't stay on the market long. Kinda like an oversized sawz-all. Imagine trying to buck firewood all day with one of these! Not to mention hitting a nail and having to sharpen and set the teeth on it.

    You come across these at the Coolspring expo from time to time. I thought it might be cool to get one to show with the Homelite, but I just don't have the time for more stuff right now. Now, If I could get an Ottowa drag saw, I'd scarf that right up.

    Used to run one as part of a antique engine display at the county fair. Thing was a beast! ::-)
