I have almost no information about this saw's history. There are no markings in the castings (unless they are buried under the paint) other than the "Safety First" label on the upper wheel cover. The saw has some distinctive features, such as the shape of the frame, but I don't see anything which identifies it with any of the currently known manufacturers.

I plan to restore this, put on new tires of the correct size and crown them properly, possibly upgrade the blade guides, and put it to use.
