Comments:

I do not own this saw--posting for archive purposes.
Seen in a southeast Michigan used tool store, 2019.
Korvette's Craft King portable circular saw.
Die-cast aluminum body.
This saw was possibly made by Portable Electric Tools, McGraw-Edison, or one of the associated companies that manufactured private label power tools for department stores.

[ADMIN NOTE JAJ: We learned from the transcript of a 1965 Department of Labor hearing that the Model 750 Craft King was made by General Appliance Manufacturing Co. This saw is a Model 955, but by comparing the Model 750 (seen in a newspaper ad available under the E.. J. Korvette / CraftKing Publications tab) to the 955, it looks like they were likely made by the same company.]
