Burnt tree backsaw

A Poor picture of a nice Saw from the burnt Tree works in Sheffield. Works were sawmaker either side of 1900.
Note the remains of the very orange laquer used on the handle. I had been assuming this was a mid 20th centuary finish, but clearly earlier than I thought. Sadly the balde has been hammered. I an going to have to practise before I try to doctor this blade

Burnt tree backsaw handleLovely condition handle with nice brass bolt head and split nuts

Burnt tree works stamp and LogoThe logo shows typical late Vistorian/ Edwardian humour. It is a human tooth showing the roots with the word "Sharp" above it.

Medallion screw headsAn interesting illustration from "Antique Woodworking tools" by Dunbar. Left hand saw shows 4 screw heads all with Medallion. The text staes the smaller medallions bear the English coat of Arms and the saw made by Tillotson of Sheffield. The Right hand saw is by Ibottson Pearce and co Eagle works

Manwaring saw 1791 to 1799A Brass backed dovetail saw given a fairly precise date in "Christopher Gabriel and the Tool Trade in 18th Century London, by Rees . A tool from the Seaton Chest. The early features given a precise date may help with dating other saws. The saw does not bear the crowns mark, which HSMOB attribute to about 1800. As Manwaring is a London maker he would have been up with the latest and might have been expected to use the crowns mark if in vogue at that time. How close is the 1800 date, what was the end use date

Saw blade is 18" long with 6.5 ppi
The top screw and nut are 11mm dia the bottom screw and nut are 12mm dia.
The hole in the handle is tight for 3 fingers. (and my fingers are fairly thin!!)

The flat at the bottom of the saw has a very clearly defined step in it

There is a very fine notch on the handle just below the lower screw. A clearly defined step at the front end of the flat under the handle. Both clear on the enlarged photo

Rather feint. Height of Letters is 2mm.
Length of Waller & Co is 21mm

1812 imagesThe images are attributed to Peter Nicholson, 1812 " Joinery Tools" For some reason the screws have been missed off, but the other details seem precisely drawn. Again note the relatively round hand holesFeb 01, 2011

1813 sawsAttributed to a book by Thomas Martin, 1813. " Carpenters' and Joiners' tools" Clearly showing 3 screws on both the backsaw and the panel saw also features of the handles.Also the relatively round shape to the hand hole.Feb 01, 2011
