The fellow that comes to our place to butcher has one to cut hanging beef in half. They work good for cutting meat. I spoke to him a year or two ago about them. He has several in order to keep one running. They did not work that well for logging. If I remember right the did not have a crank shaft. The piston worked on a spring.

If I recall, the Wright saws came out in the 60s. They were not very popular at the time, and not even popular with the chain saw collectors today. I have talked to a number of the tree saw collectors at engine shows about them if they happen to have one in their display. They all pretty much say that it is only in their display because they got it for free. I ask about them because I often see the Wright saws in salvage yards on scrap piles. No one ever seems to want them, and that includes me and I will drag anything home from a salvage yard. Been doing it for 52 years. This may be far fetched, but I think weed eaters will become more collectable than the Wright saws. I am seeing weed eaters in engine show displays every once in a while even now.

Hi Bundy I remember using these saws in the early 60's they were very good for working near the ground on roots etcetera as they wouldn't dull as fast a a chain wood. Also check out this site and you might find what you are looking for Don

these were called reciprocating saws. Nowadays the term is also applied to Sawzalls electric saws.

Sounds like you have a couple of Wright saws. I don't know personally when they were made or what they are worth, but you can try the link below and find one of the dealers that lists them and maybe they can tell you.

A Wright saw should be a redish/bronze color, if I remember. I think I had one in the early '50s, but most things that far back have been deleted from the memory banks.

I believe the Wright saws date back the fifties.
I think they were made in Sheboygan, WI.
