Yeah Jeffcat, bet those old saws can be fun. Do you by any chance have a McCullogh 5-49 or 7-55? When I was growing up that's what was used on our farm, my uncle and I cut a lot of hardwood timber with them....seems like he was sharpening chains every night with his Dumore grinder in the basement after milking and supper.
