Old 5 7/8" Worm Drive Skil Saw

[Jerry Estes]

I have a (Very) Old 5 7/8" worm drive Skil Saw that I would like to find some information on. There is only one ID tag left on it and it says SkilSaw and is attached to the blade guard. The tag on the motor housing is gone. The retractable blade guard has no manual lever. The adjusters for blade angle and depth are knurled knobs instead of levers. I listed the saw size as 5 7/8" because thats what the blade envelope shows. I also have the original case that came with the saw. Any help would be appreciated.
