Wright Pneumatic Reciprocating Saw

[kc27]

I am looking to figure out a reasonable value of a 1960s era saw made by Wright, and also if there would even be a market for this type of saw. I guess I could slap the label of "vintage" on it, and give it an air of collectibility. But is the $150 I am asking unrealistic for something this old? I have not tested it. It has probably not been used since the late 1970s.

It is a model AS-221, serial #3750

Thanks for any ideas on this.

I think someone would buy it.
I wouldn't want to drag an air compressor around, and hose up a tree.
It could have applications.
Maybe RR maint workers.

Thanks. I think it is somewhat of a specialty tool. This particular saw was used to cut wood underwater, things such as pilings and dock structures. And even then, it did not get very much use. It spent most of its time in storage. I wonder if replacement blades would even be available? If $150 is not unreasonable, I am going to list it for $124 just to expedite a sale. Thanks again.
