Happy new year to all. I have a Homelite Super XL Limited Edition (the blue one that was manufactured in the 1990's). Part of the ID tag is scraped off including the date code. This is what I can read: UT: 1_712 Serial: H_2050217 If I had to guess, the date code is either a N or a M (1992 or 1991). Not sure what the UT # is. Any info on the date code and the UT # would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your efforts. I do not think the date code is an O. I can see the very top part of the date code letter and it's definitely not an O. It looks like the top of an N or an M. I should have mentioned this in the original post.

I now own one of these but the tag is in terrible condition. I remember in high school working in the Co-Op where I grew up and there was one of the new on the shelf. It had a price tag of 425. I still know where that exact saw is today (the special edition that is) and it is still NOS never had gas put in it. I should've bought it but then I had no interest in them like I do today.

Any chance you could score the NOS saw? That would be sweeeet!

No it is a friend of mine that has it but he is a sort of collector himself. unlike most of us he doesn't have dozens and dozens but what he does have is like the last of a model. I believe it was last year or year before stihl discontinued their biggest saw. he went and bought one, asked them to leave it in the box and that's where it is now. he has several of different makes and models like that he purchased the same way, the last available when discontinued but usually the most desired models. I mentioned it to him a couple of times but he changed subject pretty fast lol

I wonder if the special edition saws carried a higher price tag? I acquired an extremely nice late model (1995 I think) super xlao that still has the price tag on it of $329.95. Maybe prices varied among distributors or regions?

I would venture to say he could likely put that limited edition NOS on ebay now and double his investment easily

There was some talk of price list on a thread here before. I believe the 425 was in line relative anyway. I will have to look for the thread but there was a member or two that had some price lists. I would thing 329 was a bit low as a very good price though.

Also I want to note this was in 1997 when I worked there the saw was just still on the shelf as it hadn’t sold there in ‘92. It may have been priced then based on comparable saws for that year. I do not know what the final selling price was

The last Ol' Blue I saw for sale was at my local Coast to Coast Hardware in Bandon. Sat on the shelf till around 1999. Just shy of $500...I still kick my own butt for not ponying up the cash!
