Another “what’s it worth thread”

[Thirdyfivepickup]

So my father-in-law passed away a few years ago and I’m in the process of cleaning out his garage. He wasn’t much of a tool guy but he did have some older Craftsman hand tools as well as this old saw.

I have the model number and the type... but I don’t know much else about it. I know it’s been buried in a corner of an I heated garage, unused, for at least 20 years. Type is CYBK10 and model is (I think) 115.17106

Any ideas what it’s worth? Better yet... does anyone want to give it a home? It looks complete but I haven’t had the guts to clean it and test it.

Any thoughts? It’s located in NW Indiana.

List it at $100 and the first person to make a close offer takes it home. Most likely $75 or $80.

Side note: That miter gauge is from an older model and possibly worth more to a collector as they are slightly rarer.

is that a petersen (usa built) jack stand behind it?

I'll have to look. So far I've only found one... I didn't pay much attention to it to be honest. I'll be heading that way maybe this weekend I'll check it out.

The nice stand would give it a boost.

I paid $25 for a similar Craftsman saw, might be the same model. But mine didn't have a usable stand, no miter gauge and no fence. And I got it first thing at a garage sale and grabbed it without much consideration. I would ask $100 to start for yours as suggested above..
If the table extensions are around somewhere they will make it worth more to me.
I just looked for this saw on the Vintagemachinery.org site and strangely didn't find any Craftsman tools with the 115 prefix to the model number.

Thanks everyone.

I'll mill it around.... if anyone in the NW Indiana area sees this and is interested it'll go really cheap. I'd just like it to go to a good home.

The model # 115.17106 is for the motor, 115 being for Packard Electric. The saw model number would probably start with 113 or 103, the saw is most likely 1950's. Too bad you are too far away from me, they are great little saws, my Dad had one.

I bought mine (same as yours) for $50 and sold it several years later for $50.

Without the extension wings I think $100 is pushing it.
That stand is kind of cool though...
I would start at $75.

Wish I was close - I'd love to clean up something like that.

 

[Showkey]

Think it’s well over 50 years old ( closer to 75) and worth $50 on good day.

 

[sberry]

It's worth more than 50, I say 150 with the stand if the fence and miter clamp are on it. At auction that or better.

Would seriously love to see it go to someone on here who would show it some love. Havent gotten back there to look for extensions or anything else. There is a pretty big shed too but I'm not expecting to find much. This is probably the oldest thing he had.

Does it still run? I know that this is an ignorant question.

I didnt get a chance to fire it up. I would need to bring an extension cord with me next time I run over there. Haven't made it back unfortunately.

 

[seber]

$100 would be a fair price almost anywhere.

Motor is worth $50.

Sometimes you can pick the whole thing up for $50.

I've got one with the wings and the classic C'man stand. Don't remember what I paid but not as much as a hundred.

Come on guys.....somebody near him take it off his hands!

Or OP............Why not keep it?

I have a small garage and already have 3 scroll saws, a band saw, a table saw, 2 belt sanders and a drill press...
