Bob,

Somewhere in the past I've seen pictures of Sally saws but have never seen one myself. You might try contacting Mike Acres at the Chain Saw Collectors Corner website. Quite sure he would be able to provide info on them.

I've seen one at a show in central PA. At least here in the east they're kind of rare. I don't remember seeing any for sale. I suspect one would bring several hundred dollars at an auction.

I think I have a picture of the one I saw but it's at home on a disk. I'll try to remember to look it up and post it here.

Thanks for the photo Leonard!! Now I realize what they are, I've seen them at the shows around here but never heard that name used for them. Most that I've seen were Lauson powered.
