Diston saw, part gloat part info seeking
I came across this saw at the flea market and it was calling out to me to give it a good home. At a distance the shape of it and the wood of the handle spoke to me. I could not read the name on it as the emblem needed a little cleaning. I was happy to see the words H Diston and Sons pop out at me, double bonus. All in it was 3 dollars, the seller said he has a new saw for 6 dollars, not knowing I could see something in this old timer.
I guess this is part gloat and part posting to see if anybody could offer up any information on this saw. It is as is when I spotted it in the wild. Figured I would post it up before doing any cleanup, wishful thinking mostly, but for 3 dollars I can't loose I love the look of this thing.
Cheers Ron
