It's a neat piece, but you need a proper backsaw to make it useful. The funny thing is people all want electric chop saws these days but for cutting trim or small pieces those old manual miter boxes can be just as fast.
One suggestion, can you put some carriage returns in between your photos so they aren't spread out sideways?

Hi and thanks for the tip but I'm not sure what your talking about. Carriage return? Photos are sideways? I'm sorry if it's not right. I am using the tapatalk app on my phone. I don't use a laptop. I presume that is part of the problem, other than my self that is. Lol.

In Tapatalk, as you add individual pictures, take the extra step of adding adding a carriage return

Before you add the next picture. It helps to make for a more enjoyable viewing experience for computer users by putting the images below each other rather than beside each other.
Tapatalk doesn't care, so that's why you don't notice on your phone.
BTW, nice mitre box. It was originally made by the Millers Falls Company and teenaged for Craftsman. Google "Langdon Acme miter box" for some history.
Cheers!

I like it. I recently picked up a Craftsman miter box #881.10 that I can't find much info on, Plan to fix up and use, hopefully keep the dust down in the basement.
This cam out if that huge lot I bought over the weekend. Really has a lot of bling with the retail red mixed in. I just dusted it off.

Hi, I'm working on restoring the same miter box (3650). Do you have any advice on removing the center uprights? I've removed all the screws and pins that I can locate but it seems to have hidden a pin or ? that won't allow the center piece to come out. I haven't been able to locate the correct manual online and so far I've been working in the dark any advice is welcomed at this point.

If it really is a Langdon Acme, you can find a parts list here. Won't tell you how to take it apart, but night offer clues, like extra screws, pins, etc.
