Went to an auction and picked up a couple of saws. Need some expert help.
1 Disston-Porter Mitre box saw 24X4 No Mitre box with it. This one will be sold if someone needs it. It was in the pile.
2 Henry Disston and Sons Back saw. The handle is broken but I have another handle. It measures 12 X 3 1/2. On the saw it reads: Cast steel, Henry Disston and Sons,Keystone saw works. There is some other stuff but I hope that will narrow it down for identification.
3 Henry Disston and Sons. D-8 the back of the saw is arched. It is 26 long and stamped 5 1/2
4 Henry Disston and Sons D-8 arched back 26 long #8 stamped
I only paid $10.00 for the bunch. I hope one or two are worth sending out to sharpen and use in the future. Soooooooo.... is it worth what I paid? What saws should I invest in sharpening? And any other info you could share would help me down the road.
