After dad passed, I inherited both his tools, and my grandfather's as well. Gramps was a wood butcher his whole life, he was a framing carpenter by trade. Anyway, one of his tools that I inherited was a Stanley circle saw, I would assume mid 50's vintage. No steel box, still in it's doggy cardboard box with its original paperwork. Not surprised at the lack of a steel box. Gramps was not too well heeled so he was probably doing good just getting the new saw!
