The last Rust Hunt produced a Disston D-7  Lightweight saw,  and a 1/2" wide chisel.    Got the chisel cleaned up, and put away.   Now on to the sawI did scrub a bit on the blade, and found a readable etch.    Seems this saw was from about 1953, or so. Steel medallion, but the rest of the hardware was brass.   Took the saw out to give it a test drive of sortsseemed to start easy enough, cuts a bit rough.   Pulls to the right.    Will have to "stone" the right side a bit.   This was a Carpenter's Saw, afterall.     Tried out a few new items for cleaning the saw's plate.   A 3M Purple scratchy pad underneath a palm sander.    Then, something called "Never Dull"  wadding polish, from Eagle One.     Rub the plate down, and then wipe off with a clean rag.    It even shines Brass itemsStarting to look a bit better.  There IS an etch there, will have to get some Liquid Gun Blue to bring it out for the camera.  The "non-moneyside"Haven't done anything to the handle/tote.   teeth count is eight, or so it was stamped that wayImagine, a saw that is the same age as me....
