Pictures Of My Oldtimer Chainsaw Collection

[traktorist2222]

Since my picture threads with chainsaw and logging pictures have found many friends here, I will start now another thread to show you my antique chainsaw collection.

If you like it, I will post from time to time pictures of my about 50 collection saws here.

I start with my brand new, never used Stihl 031 AV that I got this week.

This is the 552nd Contra-Lightning Stihl made. It was produced on 29 May 1959, the third production day.

And here is my Dolmar 166. Actually it has got a new label on sprocket cover.

In the junk (antique) biz we'd call that new old stock. (I buy junk and sell antiques )

I gotta ask -

Does the original box add much value for a collector?

A few years ago, I liquidated an antique toy collection. Stuff from the 20s mostly. Had 2 of the same item. One with box, one without.

Sans box, the little dancing Sambo snatched $250 at auction. The one in the box topped off at $900.

Great saws. Your 166 is clean.
Keep em coming.

I know it makes a big diference with Lionel trains. I have a 1948 Lionel Electronic (radio controled) set. It's 100% complete including the radio transmitter. The set was apraised at $3500. With boxes it would at least double. The boxes for that one set were a different color than the other boxes and are very rare, Joe.

OMG I'm jealous of your regular saw line up and now this, if you tell me you got this for a song I'm gonna cry. Lucky for you there is an ocean between me and your saws

Very nice collection

 

[67 Mustang]

Thanks, Martin! Aha! Now I know what era that so called "collector bar" I have might be from.

Martin...Great post...I'm really interested in how you date and identify this contra as the 552nd off the line? I know there are lots of differences in Contras and would like to sort this out a bit so your insight would be valuable to me and some others I know here.

Thanks in advance...

PS Also love your slightly used Contrs. You live in the world of easy to get Contras!
