The saw is all metal, no plastic handles. This is an older 10 amp Model 77 in the A4222xx serial number range. While interesting, it is not yet really collectible due to the sheer numbers of these saw that where produced. Production of this tool was started in 1928 in, I believe, Chicago. Skils original model saw was called the Michel Electric Hand Saw Which later came to be called the Model E. Skils own website provides a nice overview of their history. There is a lot of info on the history of the company itself, but very little on the progression of tool models through the years. I haven't really had much luck tracking the history of Skils early tools. This is what I believe to be an first generation model 77 Skilsaw.
