Antique scroll saw

Is this worth anything? Can't find any info on it.

No idea the value but if it runs someone should want it. Do All is a well respected name in bandsaws.

If I had it, I'd mount it on one of Singer treadle sewing machine bases and use it at my cabin. For making wood toys and jigsaw puzzles!

The trouble with those, and up through probably the 1980's scroll saws was that there is a spring that pulls the blade back down.  It's much easier to break a blade with that design than the more modern ones that have a whole frame that tensions the blade, and both the top and bottom go up and down keeping constant tension on the blade.

A friend has been trying to give me a big green with white racing stripe Powermatic for years, but it's not worth the space it takes up for my use.

Much work has been done with those old ones, but I'll use a small portable modern one in preference to even the old heavy stationary ones.

  Regardless of it's current value that's a neat find. Think of all the projects that old saw has helped complete.
  OK, so I'm a sucker for old tools.

If you clean it up but don't restore, there will be someone who wants as a collectable.
