I bought this 2’ X 3’ Mall Tools porcelain sign a couple of weeks ago. It is in such good condition that I was afraid that it was a reproduction. I bought it from a friend in the antique business and he gave me a money back guarantee. I have not been able to find anything that would suggest that it is not real. For those not familiar with the Mall company they were big in building gas powered chainsaws both one and two man. That also made air and electric tools. They were bought out in the late fifty’s by Remington.

Beautiful condition, and the quality and the detail really shows.

Back when chainsaws were American made. Cool!

That is a sweet sign. You don't see them in that condition very often.

We had an old Mall circular saw at the shop, no guard and fixed blade depth. you really had to think to use those old saws. It still worked good but it was an oddball size. loke 6 1/2 in or so. we got to were we couldn't get blades anymore so it got scrapped.

Nice find. I`ve a couple of Malls in my chainsaw collection, real beasties.
