This saw is on display at the Boshco Machine dealers in Billerica, MA. It was found by the current owners father (Raymond C. Boshco) in a barn many years ago. Up until discussion and interpretation of the damaged badge (see below)it was not known who the manufacturer was. Photos were taken by me with permission from Randy Boshco, the son of Raymond. The discussion thread on OWWM can be found here: http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=131507. What is possibly the serial number was found on the hub of the upper wheel. I have additional photos which could not be included due to website limitations. Most were posted in the owwm discussion.
