This saw showed up on the local Craigslist

Asking price was/is $200
Ad doesn't spec length, tpi, rip or X
Don't recall hearing of that maker
or seeing that particular handle profile before
so thought would post it here

Wonderful example of early saw makers work.
Nice saw.
$200? That's what Mike Allen's refurbed PERFECT saws cost.
It's the equivalent of 40 D-7s, around here in Millers Falls country.

I believe a saw collector would love to have that saw, make the guy an offer.
1] Fascinating history, thanks for the links Stewie. Even includes bio on their politics, and changing parties due to passage of the KS-NE Act........great bit of history.Quote:

3] Is that a nib I see on that saw? Still there?
4] I'm not a collector, but if I was, I'd have a hard time imagining doing a restoration to that gem.
I think Jim Bode had one listed a while back for $2000 or so. The saw listed was in really good condition and may have been slightly different. Yes I know that would make a huge difference, I just can't recall 100%.
