Today I could finally read the model number on the plate on the back of the saw housing. The model number is #113-27520. Knowing this model number has allowed me to get a more accurate age of the saw. This model number was used on saws in the 1950's and 60's. It appears that the mechanics of the saw stayed the same and they just changed the graphics and housing design (purely aesthetic).
My husband thought that his father bought this saw after they moved into the house where he grew up. His best guess was 1956 and it looks like that is exactly the time period of this saw. The 1960's saw has more modern graphics on the front of the housing. I might go back and change the title of this series of post to reflect the actual age of the saw so that someone searching for the #113-27520 will find these posts.
Also knowing the model number has allowed me to track down a download for the Owner's Manual. This gives us diagrams and what accessories were available. R wants the sanding disc attachment and I have already found one online.
Before cleaning
After cleaning
Last night I was able to get the adjustment handles cleaner that what they were but not perfect. There is some pitting in the chrome plating but that will not interfere with the operation of the saw.
