Saw-42
Price: $20.00 plus shipping

Condition: Smooth, sharp, but somewhat rumpled and in need of being straightened with a saw doctor's hammer & anvil. I removed all the red rust with a sharpened chisel, leaving the present blue-black patina of the remaining hard magnetite. Made by Disston.

The apple handle is in good shape, with just a chipped upper horn and a repaired crack at the bottom end of the hand hole.


The Dec.27, 1887 date applies to the medallion's construction:
The brass guard follows the  U.S. Patent No.280,612 of William Hankin & Cornelius Tenney, dated July 3, 1883:
Medallion dated Dec.27, 1887
