What is this saw worth?

[Christian Castillo]

Hi, I came across this New Old Stock Disston D-95 26" 8ppi Xcut saw, anyone have an idea what it might be worth?

Made in 1955 or later.

"The D-95 saw features a plastic handle, but is not cheap-looking. The handle was made from a material called Tenite, a product owned by Eastman, a company related to Kodak. Disston called the product Disstonite. The D-95 was manufactured from 1935 until the 1950's and was offered in three color combinations. It was switched to a wooden handle in 1955." http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/d95page.html

Maybe not as desirable as pre WWII saws. Just guessing here.

given the Danville address on the box, I assume it's after HK Porter bought them in '56 and moved the company from Philadelphia. Given the logo, I'd assume it's even later than that.

It even comes with a factory hang hole!

And I always thought it was some craftsman who did it to peeve off the person whose hands the saw would fall into.

i think he's just about right but I'd guess the saw may be even more recently made than the 50's. I sold a used one not long ago and didn't get much for it although it was a perfectly good user in very clean condition. I have no idea what a totally unused one would bring but most people want Disston saws that were made when the Disston family still had ownership in the company.
