Industrial Rated Craftsman Sabre Saw

This is a 1/3 hp (2.7 amp) sabre saw that I inherited from my grandfather. As best as I can tell, it is from the late '50s to mid '60s. It was made in the USA and still works great.

Model number is 315.279850 and the tag bears the names "Sears, Roebuck and Co." and "Simpsons-Sears LTD."

I have the Model 315.27981 Simpsons-Sears Limited Sabre Saw that my Father bought possibly early 60's. Is in excellent shape. He kept his tools very clean in a shed before he died in 1994 (was 82 yrs. old). Serial number is 6717. I would like to find out how old it is. If anyone knows how to find out please email me at ken.messer@yahoo.com. Thanks.

We still use my dads old sabre saw. It works great. The only thing wrong is a screw keeps coming out. They dont make stuff like that anymore.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD A SOURCE FOR A PART FOR THIS OLD SEARS SABRE SAW. IT FELL OFF THE TABLE AND BROKE THE HANDLE CASTING. LOVE THIS OLD SAW THAT I GOT FROM MY DAD.
