comp56 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 according to the graphics of these manuals I'd say early to mid 60's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Going off the manual, I'm going to say very early 60's or possibly late 50's.Notice the address lists "Chicago 30". The 2 digit zip code was used from the early 40's up until 1963. That was also the year they stopped using 3 letter state abreviations. They may have had previously printed manuals distributed after that, but the printing style screams early 60's to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryNY Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 It's amazing though after all these decades circular saws pretty much look the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
