Early 1968 Homelite XL-904 Automatic, only seen two others, none with ID plates

Did you restore that saw, if so, did you use spray (can or gun) paint or powder coat?

If anyone had any, you would have been my first guess!!

This is my favorite

I used an automotive acrylic urethane, matching the correct sheen was the tough part, most rattle cans or gloss clear coats are way shinier than the original paint job. I don't like that look

I agree, some end up looking really shiny and it does not fit a chainsaw. I think you have found the "just right" level of shiny!

The best thing in the pic is overlooked......look behind the sign. Ole Penny girl was a faithful companion for many years. She passed in 2017 and I still miss her daily. As I type this on the dumb phone I am burning cedar trees in the cattle pasture that her and I spent every night in.

Ole Chip is with me right now but he is not as smart as she was.
