[SEL] Ward drag saw info wanted

[Larry Evans]

Hi......

A friend of mine is one of the directors of a small museum in northern 
California.  They have a drag saw that was donated and I would like to get 
some information to help them with proper data for their records.  Pictures 
can be seen at:

I could be wrong but it probably was sold by Montgomery Ward since 
stenciled on it is "Ward Sawyer No. 5000."  It has a small water cooled two 
stroke engine with a Lunkenheimer carb and what appears to be a bracket for 
a Wico EK mag.  Looking at some pictures of other saws I think this must 
have been made by either Wade or Vaughn for the retailer.  If anyone can 
verify that it was sold by Montgomery Ward and who the maker was please let 
me know. Also I would be interested in knowing how large the blade would 
have been and approximate date of manufacture.
