![]() If your really into classic Skil you will also want one of their model 100 'Surfboard' planers. If your looking for a collectible saw I would either suggest a Model E or for a more modern one, one of the 250 saws that Skil offered as a limited edition, that was painted in an American flag style color scheme. I plugged it in and ran it for a couple of seconds and it sounds great. My girlfriend inherited an old wormdrive skil saw. ![]() My saw has the name plate and says it is an 8 amp and has a serial number 3816. ![]() I have a SKILSAW Model 77 Serial # 145523 Type 2 is on the nameplate. 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.
