Saw-45
Price: $15.00 plus shipping

Condition: Straight, sharp & smooth, with minor rust staining, scraped free of red rust with a sharpened chisel. The hang hole is original.

The undamaged birch plywood handle has all its original finish and even its original price tag and wheat carving.

The medallion dates the saw to the H.K. Porter period in the late 1950's:
 The Disstonian Institute has nothing to say about this model, except that it was all downhill after H.K. Porter bought out Disston and moved production to Danville, Virginia.
