Even if you don’t use it much, getting tools from your dad is cool.
Looks like it needs a new blade if you do decide to use it, tho.

So, ballpark estimate...
How old is the saw?How old is the blade?
The blade looks older than the saw, but I know that's not true.
Looks like early seventies to me.I have an old craftsman 6" out in the shop

Trust in God, but row away from the rocks.
Nice getting tools from your dad. Just remember on the saw that is probably not double insulated. I got an steel cased saw and drill from my dad, old Craftsman and would get a shock about every other time I used them.
Anybody any idea how old it might be?

Reading this page, it says that you should write or call them if you own an older model and need to identify it. Phone numbers and URL provided.
Good luck.
The style to me looks like the 1960's at the latest.
The address shows it was before Canada introduced postal codes. The US introduced zip codes in 1963, before that large cities used zones like the label shows for Toronto.
Are there any Canadians out there who know when postal codes came into use?
