All-Metal Worm Drive Saws?

[BDFan1981]

How many of you own a morass of all-metal worm-drive saws? The last of this breed of tools was produced by Skil in 1975 in the form of model 77 type 14, model 367 type 6 and model 825 type 12.

Black & Decker first put plastic handles on its line of worm-drivers in the mid-'60s (models 976, 977 and 978; which in 1970 became models 3050, 3051 and 3052 respectively).

How about a 1976 Model 77 Type 15 in an All-Metal box?

Apparently the first one with some plastic parts.

That saw has actually seen a LOT of use in the past 37 years; I've just taken very good care of it and never let anyone borrow it.

We've got a 50s or early 60s vintage Skil 77 too, but it's been converted to a wet-cut concrete saw and it's stored where I can't easily get to it for a photo.

Thank you very much. I think the instruction book you have is probably dated as such.

I also want to ask: what is its serial #? Example: AA123456.

Here's an all-metal Skilsaw 367 worm-drive saw, in which there is dark gray paint on the handles only (the paint is flaking off).
