[SEL] Big drag saw with vertical engine

[Best, George]

Looks like a vertical Stover to me.

Plus Mitchell was a Stover reseller.

Subject: [SEL] Big drag saw with vertical engine

A lady in Portland, Oregon found some pictures in her family archives of
her grandfather with a very large drag saw with a vertical engine.  I've
been trying to help her find some information regarding the saw and we
are fairly certain that it was sold by Mitchell Lewis & Staver, a very
early industrial supplier in the Pacific Northwest.  So far I have not
been able to figure out who actually made the engine.  It is a single
cylinder four stroke vertical engine that appears that it might be
around 5 hp. in size.  It is really an impressive looking saw unit.
Take a look at:

to see the pictures she found and let me know if you have any ideas.
