I came across this saw at a friends.  Says he bought it for 10 bucks at a garage sale. Can anyone tell me about this old saw.

Posting pics on facebooks vintage chainsaw collectors gets people talking
The saw is more fun than the purpose of the wood... the forest is trembling 🌳

Early 1950's rebadged Clinton chainsaw from Clinton, Michigan.
This Bolens came out of Port Washington, Wisconsin

It has the 3:1 belt reduction drive on the side which I have no experience with. Can't find a pic but further search through Clinton with 3:1 reduction belt drive should show up.
Making a living with a saw since age 16.

Thank you all. He bought it as a wall hanger decoration.  He has a few older stihl saws as well but nothing near as old as that bolen

The old Clinton and Power Products engines were widely used in many applications years ago .They were not high RPM engines but produced a lot of low end torque .They were somewhat portable where as something like a Briggs and Stratton was not.
