vintage 1950s machine age electric WEN All Saw 909 saber saw or jigsaw

Old 1950s vintage electric portable electric jigsaw with a heavy cast aluminum or zinc alloy housing. It also has a large black (bakelite, we believe) ball handle.

This saw is marked as a WEN All Saw model 909. It measures about 5.5" x 6" across the steel foot base and it takes a saw blade about 3/8" wide.

This jigsaw runs well but the insulation on the cord is much cracked with age and there is some rust to the steel base plate.
