View Full Version : Two etchings on a Disston? The Eavorite? Bissell and Moore?

So I got a saw for a buck at a garage sale because it has Disston medallion. The Disston Institute peg it in the 18's. After scraping off most of the silver paint (I suppose someone thought this makes the saw "value added") I found a Disston etching slightly skewed and down by the teeth. It also has an etching that reads "The Eavorite 26 R Bissell & Moore MNT CO" Any insights?

Some hardware stores bought Disston saws and had their own etchings put on them, sometimes in addition to the standard Disston etching, sometimes in place of it. Maybe this is one of those.
