Wright Reciprocating Saw.

Made in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, between 1960 and 1962. Rare GS-5020A model.

It has a 7.06 cu. in. (115.7 cc), two-stroke motor, which weighed 25 lbs. (11.3 kg) complete.

The blade doesn’t stop reciprocating when the saw is running because it’s attached directly to the crankshaft. There is no clutch system.
