Anybody heard of a "Mall Saw?

[Wannabee]

I know it is made from the Mall Tool Co. in Chicago. My father-in-law has his dad's circular saw from the 1940's....6" blade with a SQUARE center....anyone have any clue where I can get more blades to fit this awesome saw?

I know of it. Actually I think they were the first to build a commercial circular saw. I have old pop mech that have ads in. I can look them up. As far as finding a blade I doubt you can. You will have to find some one that can drill out the whole of a regular blade and then put an insert in. AKA the skill 77 and other worm drives

Oh, square hole in the center, though you were talking about a square saw blade.
Mall saw was bought out by Reminton, quite a while ago.

I bought one at a garage sale, complete with a red metal carrying box and can of lube. It has a thick cord and is a bit heavy. I think I was able to get a saw blade to fit by filing out the diamond shape "knock-out" that most saw blades have.
