Peace Misc. Saws
Peace made a large variety of saws other than the standard handsaws and backsaws. Here are a few I've found.
Peace Patent no. 2 Interchangeable Nest Of Saws
This handle design was patented May 6th 1884. It covers a saw handle with a removable blade. The designs includes a fixed pin and a locking screw. To date I have found only one example with only one blade. This example is clearly stamped with the patent date.
The no. 2 nest of saws and patented handle shown in the 1884 catalog
No. 2
Note the fixed pin
The blade is stamped with the May 6, 1884 patent date.
No. 45 Compass Saw
A simple compass saw with an apple handle. The no. 45 was the top of the line.
1884 catalog description
No. 40 Table Saw
This is a rare saw to find from any maker, especially Peace. I have seen only one example.
1884 catalog description
18in Table Saw Example
Note truncated top horn of handle
Blade is etched
Square Hole Saw
This is a peculiar saw intended to cut holes with square corners. This is the only example I have seen. The blade is bent at a 90 degree angle about half-way though the plate. It's clearly die-stamped with the Harvey Peace name. This saw does not appear in the 1884 or 1890 catalogs. It does appear in the Orr & Lockett Hardware Co. 1898 catalog. The listing for this saw can be seen below.
