dirty dozen what are they worth?

Re mystery saw
Would guess it is an early Danarm with a Villiers engine. Hi-baller possible.

I'm close to one.

For the S-10 rear handle custom

I love this saw

They have a Wright Shark toothed saw for sale around me. I thought it was the weirdest saw I ever seen. Can't remember how much they want for it?

 

[trooney]

He wants $135, started at $200. It is in REAL good shape. Also has a Wright c-50 if anyone is interested.

I have really no idea what to offer or to pay on these guys so I snapped some pics and am looking for sage advise from you guys.

OK the big mystery saw this thing is massive and old and ugly and he said he could never figure out what it really was

Get me some more picts of that one Dave, it has all the makings of a Clinton chainsaw, just have to figure out what model it is. That rocking chair style handle, gear reduction case and top oil tank are all classic Clinton chainsaw parts. This is as close of a pict as I can find, its not the actual saw in your pict but very close,

Most old saws are worth whatever value they hold to you as far as cool factor. There are some that are desirable for whatever particular reason, but for the most part "old" doesn't necessarily equate to "valuable".

A buddy of mine had a Strunk that was a runner, sold it for $3500.00 and regretted it. He was able to trade for it back eventually but it took 18 months and some doing.

The fun and more often the challange is getting them to run in the first place .The novelty of actually using one is rather short lived .---says the guy with a half a shed full of boat anchors---

for the most part "old" doesn't necessarily equate to "valuable".

"Take no prisoner's" Solo Rex being a good example.

If a saw "speaks" to you it's worth whatever it takes to shut it up

Basher is more on the money than I am, the angles aren't right for a Danarm (but the handle is for some).

A saw is worth whatever your willing to give.

that is very close, I am miles away from his shop and I need to take a ladder that is qualified to hold my girth with me next time.
These saws have a pretty serious layer of dust on them but seem to be in nice shape.
I will do some more searching on Acres site to try to pin down the mac and homie models.

I am going to get the Disston, Strunk and Wright for sure at this point.

 

[Definitive Dave]

From the pictures that are available at Acres the best match is a Clinton 577 so far.

Dave...


If you want a Diston 101 hold off till August.....




FWIW, I believe I paid $75 for this one and its got all the original books with it. Its yours if you are interested.

I can contact my friend Alain, he might know exactly what model it is, also Cliff and Rick are good sources for identifying old mag saws.
