Tools for Sale

This is a nice clean example of the Star hacksaw made by the Clemson Bros. in Middletown, NY. It takes 8in hacksaw blades. It's a very good design that works well. $15

This is a 12 point Rip Backsaw, freshly sharpened and ready to work. It has a fairly slack rake angle and cuts beautifully, quick and clean with a thin kerf. It's a little to aggressive to use as a crosscut, so it's not what I'd consider a "hybrid" tooth pattern. This saw was made by One of the several Davenports who worked in Sheffield for more than a century. This is an early example with the tiny die-stamped maker's mark stamped at the very bottom of the spine. The beech handle is in good shape, tight to the handle. The plate is straight and 2 1/2in deep under the steel spine. A fine, early saw ready to use. $145

This saw dates to 1896-1917 based on the medallion. It's 26in and 9point crosscut. The plate has a slight bend about mid-way. Although the teeth aren't terribly sharp I've tested it and it does track straight and doesn't bind. The top horn is slightly truncated. It's a solid worker, not a collectible. $28

This 26in handsaw was part of Disston's Keystone line of saws. These were lower priced saws marketed to homeowners and not as highly decorated or refined as the high end saws. This is a perfectly serviceable 8 point croscut saw with a straight, clean plate. The etch is especially bright. The handle is perfect. A solid worker. $35
