Antique "Chain" Saw

Saw this on Craigslist. For all you fans of old iron.

Dang. Never seen anything quite like it. It's like the Devil's own jigsaw.

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!
