The price was right, guy said it didn't run but he hadn't personally tried to run it. Now if I can just figure out what it is and who can get it running (after I try some fresh gas in it)
Bonus pictures of the tools I picked up also:

Very cool! I have been going to the local flea market to buy my tools. Most are in great shape and are a fraction of the price as new ones.

Get thee some EvapoRust from Harbor Freight and soak those tools in it for a few hours...rinse with water and lightly oil...

My dad has 2 of those saws. One is in parts in a bucket. The other is sitting in his shop with some sort of failure. I can't recall what the problem is right off the top of my head. When it was running, it was a solid saw. I punctured my left knee joint with it so I should know.

I wonder if this is something worthy of the retro forum.

Update: A friend charged me $30 to disassemble the saw, clean it up, adjust the carburetor, replace the spark plug, clean the automatic oiler, and fill it with fresh gas.
He says it runs fine, has a lot of compression and is hard to crank (but has a decompression lever) and the auto-oiler doesn't work reliably, but the saw has a manual chain oiler too, so it ought to work fine for light duty. That brings the saw up to $40 - with a new plug and a tank of gas.

Look at the paperwork, there may be a date on it somewhere. My Granddad had one like it in the 60s. Heavy brute. About three weeks ago I bought a nice older Poulan chainsaw with two new chains, adjusting and sharpening tools, and case for $5 and a nice Ryobi gas leaf blower/vacuum for $4. Both worked fine. The guy's Dad passed and he just wanted to get rid of the stuff. Got to love yard sales.
