Stanley Mitre Box

Sounds very much like the Stanley miter box I used as a kid (don't remember the model number offhand)- didn't know they still sold high-end manual miter boxes like that any more. I bought a twin to the one from my youth at a garage sale, just as a museum piece. But if I was doing a big job, and/or working for money, no way would I use a manual box- 'good enough' electric miter boxes are pretty cheap these days, only about 3x what you paid for your new one. For a one-off DIY job, I'd even be tempted to use one of the ultra-cheap HF units.

I'm a sucker for old precision-made hand tools, even though I'll probably never use most of the ones I buy here and there. Being a cheap SOB, though, I only buy at garage and estate sales- some of the asking prices on ebay and such are flat-out absurd.

I have a high-end elbow-powered miter box, as well (don't think it's a Stanley, though). I don't use it much since I bought one of the "ultra-cheap HF units (10" - $99), which has since been replaced by a 12" Bosch.

I'm a sucker for precision-made power tools. ;-)

Now that Navy Seal Team 6 has some time on their hands perhaps they could go looking for The Ghost In The Machine.
