Wish now when I collected watch fobs I looked for Homelites. However, at the time they didn't appeal to me cause they were often small and the detail was lacking.

Those are some REALLY COOL items Dan! Were you a Homelite dealer? Thank you very much! No, not a dealer, just had the addiction for better than 20 years now. It's amazing the things that pop up when you're looking for stuff. Dan

Here's another watch fob, missing it's belt. Not sure, but guess this was on a key chain. Always liked the watches, even if they are kinds cheap. You can see the "Hong Kong" at the bottom of the face. Dan

I enjoy the memorabilia almost as much as the saws. Do you have signs also?

Thanks for sharing! You have me wondering if my dad had some of this stuff. He sold Homelites in the 70's - 80's and has since passed away. I need to look around!!!

Thanks for sharing your stuff! You're very welcome. It'd be neat to have some sort of library section with pics of all the different memorabilia and promotional items organized and cataloged. Not sure how it could be done, but some if the site admins may have ideas. There's so many things that are out there. Always neat to look, even if its only a picture. Dan

Sorry to hear your father passed away. Mine passed 6 years ago now. Still remember cutting firewood with him using his 350. That's what got me started into the chainsaw world. Please look. It's very likely he stashed away some incredible items. I enjoy going through old booklets and brochures. Sometimes spend hours. You never know what you'll find. Dan

Homelite was really pushing the little XLs. You see all kinds of ads and stuff with 'em. Being the ideal homeowner saw, it makes sense. I've come across a few printing blocks. Here's my favorite. Seen several lighters. I really like the one with the big 900 series cutting a tree, but haven't been able to snag one yet. Here's one that's much simpler. This is an odd tape measure. Made in Germany, looks fairly recent due to it's plastic, but with an old saw on it. Finally, what's most likely everyone's favorite paper cup. Dan

The chainsaw collectors forum has a section for "trinkets". Maybe HOH should have one

Here's a bit more. One of my signs in the garage. Just noticed the shadow of a bar/chain across it. One of my favorites. Guess I should have taken a pic with the light off, but love the fluorescent startup flicker. Not a smoker, but can't resist a neat ashtray. and finally, a few patches. Dan
