Montgomery Wards Lakeside Mitre Box

[Larry McGarrah]

I have an old Wards model 484-371 mitre box I am thinking about cleaning up and putting back into service. Did Stanley make this mitre box? And about how old is it? It came with a 26" Disston saw that the etch says it is for a Stanley mitre box.

That is almost certainly a re-branded Stanley No. 50 miter box. This is a mid-range box with fewer features than the top line boxes. I have one that I use for cutting smaller stock and it works quite well.
