Thought you hand tool junkies might appreciate this saw. My dad is the current custodian, but he says I get it (and therest of his tools) someday. My immediate reply is I can wait a LONG time to do that, and he is to enjoy them in the meantime.

He recently had it sharpened, but other than that, it is a user, just not bolted down to a bench currently. He's not into woodworking, but has had this saw for at least 25 years.

Disston made the saw itself, as evidenced by this button:

Very nice, Ned. There's some folks over on the Old Tools List salivating over that beauty.

What's the vintage?

Thanks, Tom
