The saw was donated to the St. Lawrence Gas and Steam Engine Association by Hans and Ida Loretz of Brasher Falls, NY and Triesen, Liechtenstein. It became part of the collection of the St. Lawrence Power and Equipment Museum, successor organization to the Association, in 2004.
The saw had been purchased by Hans Loretz in 1982 from a mill that had shut down in 1973 in
Liechenstein. It was shipped by ocean freight to Montreal, Quebec and then trucked to Brasher Falls in 1983.
