Peace Misc. Saws

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.

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.
