The saw has been in my father-in-laws shop ever since my wife can remember. He passed away in 1995. It looks more like a Walker Turner Driveline. See the posting by William Lillmars - http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?ID=9879. Some differences in the casting, tensioning assembly and doors. I'm not sure if the Beaver plate was put there by may father-in-law or if it was in fact made by Beaver. If anyone has more information on the history I'd be very interested.

[ADMIN NOTE 2015-10-29: Edited to set True Manufacturer to Walker-Turner as the saw matches a W-T model BN100. The wheel covers of this example are different to the W-T badged models but the frame and wheels match perfectly. Original date on this Photo Index entry was 2011-01-23.]
