Is that an old 10-10 he's holding?
Looks to me like it's a LH start 10-10A with a chainbrake.

Any luck on the 250 starter? Please PM me if you find one.

That's a mid '70s 10-10 Automatic he's holding. I have the exact same saw.
I've had several of those older 10-10 saws and none of them had a chain brake. Maybe they were removed?

I don't know if the 10-10A ever came from the factory with a brake, but maybe had one as an option.
Difficult to tell from the camera angle, but it could be a Pro Mac 10-10, which did come standard with a chain brake. The colors are right for that, too.
Andy - I am not a man prone to expressing strong emotions but in this case you really suck. What I mean to say is I am jealous of your find.
That is an awesome group of saws, and while they are all very close in displacement, any one with better compression will likely cut circles around the rest.
Congratulations, I am yellow with envy.

Adding to the hive!

I have had two of those saws so far. Neither had a chain brake type clutch cover, but the LH start 10-10A IPL's do show both clutch covers (non-CB and short CB-type). I've seen several of these 10-10A saws advertised on ebay on CL with pictures of them wearing that same short CB-type clutch cover. A PM10-10 would have the long 'muffler guard' type CB clutch cover.
Edit:
I just looked REAL CLOSE at the pic again. It's not a 10-10A. Doesn't have the more squared off AF cover (with domed AF underneath) as used on the 10-10A. It has the later style tank, with a yellow AF cover on the black tank top (gotta look close). Uses the later 'flat' air filter elements. I believe that saw is a PM55 or one of the other similar models with the black tank top/yellow AF cover combination.
That Reagan saw looks an awful lot like my Pro Mac 55 with the yellow brake handle and short clutch cover, IMHO.
