Agreed - and those treadle fretsaws were all the rage in the 1950's. It even
says 'Hobbies' on it - I grew up reading old Hobbies annuals in the 70's and
donated one of those fretsaws to a wood recycling charity after my Dad died.

Hobbies (not to be confused with Hobby's) is still going strong. I have
some of their 0 gauge building plans here, somewhere.
