Very nicely done Stewie - not overcleaned and will make a fine user.

Well done. Saws from that era certainly are handsome and that one has seen little use.

Are you happy with the Grammercy saw vise? I think I have found a way to securely mount it on my bench, only when needed.

Stewie,
Just curious, how many saw sets do you have?
I have five, but my Taintor set is my favorite.

Also, do you do a screwdriver set on fine tooth saws?

Stewart,

Are you saying that is the actual etch on the saw in your post?

That is a pic from 'the institute'.

Pete; those images of the medallion and saw etch were taken from the institute site. But they do replicate what is featured on this saw.

Stewie. Where did you see the #175 on your Eclipse? I often use my Eclipse on the larger saws, but do not recall seeing a number. Otherwise I go with the 42x for my smaller saws. Nice save, by the way.
