Well, now that a door is finally out of my shop. Time to look over a "diamond in the (very) rough Picked it up for a dollar bill, only because there was a Disston medallion in place. Well it seems as though this saw was never sharpened since Old Henry himself sent it out from the factory. Teeth are still VERY SHARP, too. Plate is straight, one small crack in the tote. It closed up after the BLO hit it. Shined the brass up, got a replacement half of one of the bolts. And cleaned that plate back to non-rusty bare metal. 220 grit in a palmsander does the trick. I did find just a hint of the Scales from the etch, the rest was long ago rusted away. Well, lets see what a $1 saw does look like after a good clean up The "Bondo Pose" The "Money" side The reverse side. IF you look closely in those two shots, you might see a nib Yep, that is a nib. Detail of the tote It is called a Lamb's Tongue. Towards the teeth line, there is the number 7 No, it is not the Model number, it means there are 7 points per inch ( ppi) This was filed as a crosscut saw, with a LOT of set to it. Test drive was fast, and rough. Not too bad for a rusty $1 saw? BTW: Model Number? A H. Disston & Sons No.7 from about the....1900 to 1920 era.
