This saw was on CL for $50 and I caught it 3 minutes after it was posted. I have a Super 990, but had been wanting one of these. I agreed to the asking price and picked it up 1 hour later. The seller said I managed to be first in line, but several others were waiting.

The seller said his father had given it to him and his father had bought it used. If the assumption is correct on the dirty papers being truly part of its history, then the saw was sold to C. B. Bond on April 20, 1957. There was a receipt in the 1956 edition hardback "Getting the Most Out of Your Radial Saw" (receipt for the book, not the saw, but everything else had the same business info.) It was sold in Des Plaines, IL by B. F. Kinder's Sons, Inc.
