Reed Prentice, Model 50 is what I have gathered looking at Mike Acres' site.

There was one saw in the batch (that CAD day back in 2012) sold by Montgomery Wards that I gave away, but really wish now that I had kept.

Some guys knew of my remorse over that saw and sent me a eBay listing a while back.

It took a while but the saw arrived yesterday. I don't think it has ever been fueled and run, but sadly the chain is missing.

There are a few differences in the two saws, the one I had earlier with a later serial number (85X) had a pulse operated fuel pump and a lever connected to the throttle handle that operated the manual oiler button. The latest one (Series number 6X) doesn't have either of those features.

It looks like 6X had that lever at one time but it has since disappeared. I think I may be able to fab up something that would look correct.
