Yard sale had a bucket for sale @ $10, well they had three of them.   One though, stood out from the others.   Seems that sticking up out of that bucket was a 36" long, two-handed screwdriver.    And a Disston saw.   The rest of the "goodies down below?    WS Backsaw, a Germany H.S.#102 brace ( 10" sweep)  five more screwdrivers, three wire brushes, the frame for a Stanley 295 sureform file, three gear pullers, a 10" Ridgid pipe wrench (ah, ain't he cute) and that 5 gallon bucket!

 

A look inside the bucket

 

Plus that Disston saw that was sticking up?

26" straight back, 8ppi crosscut, with a full etch.   Handle looked a little weird

and the medallion does says Warranted Superior.   

 

The etch says it is a "National Hardware Special"    with Disston in big block letters over a keystone.   Below that is a double scrolled line with 1840  Philadelphia 1940 between the lines

 

Saw was made for a trade show in 1954.  The next year HK Porter bought out Disston. 

 

Worth the ten spot?

That is a nice find on the Disston Steve. Well all of it is nice but the saw is really nice.

 

I didn't get a chance over the weekend to do any rust hunting.
