Homelite Chainsaw Product Information via Mail November 1959

I scored this packet from Ebay a few weeks ago...it's in pretty damned good shape for nearly 60 year old paper! There is even a price list for the various equipment available at the time.

That is great, a lot of information in there about options offered and specs. Very nice.

I saw this thing in there, anyone ever see on of these machines?

That listing was the first time I ever heard about the "Power Peeler". Wonder if that was a Homelite exclusive or if it was sold to fit numerous saws of the time. Be neat to see one.

Looks really dangerous, hold on TIGHT! I used a post hole auger with a flex cable like that as 20 year old. It was very tough to work with, hard to imagine what the peeler would be like.

Neat tool, looks like it has the same flexible drive shaft that would be used for their concrete vibrator. Wonder if the log stand was also a Homelite product? I liked seeing the bar part numbers listed, can they be decoded? Thanks for sharing this great resource!
