I was at an antique mall and came across a tool booth. No chisels, lots of rulers, a couple dozen planes and saws at least 30 of them all of them vintage most had makers marks and many Disstons. The saws had been cleaned and sharpened a few had minor pitting none were cracked. They were priced $20-$30. On eBay it looks like saws sell for $60-$300.
I didn't know what too look for and didn't want to be impulsive so i passed. Can i go wrong paying $25 for a hand saw? Generally speaking is every vintage Disston better than any new saw from a big box store?
I guess i need a rip saw and a cross cut saw and a few smaller saws
