    I like it ! #7s are totally undervalued in the marketplace ... which is good for us.
    :)
    I hadn't seen your post, but I just added a thread on hardware store saws in the ID forum.

    Great minds think alike.
    ... and fools seldom differ.

    Cheers,

    here is a harvey peace p47 i got this one when i was about 10. the guy i got it from had it covered in wax and paint. it cleaned up real nice.
    the second etch is from a tool dealer william marlow that shared the same town as peace. i probably should take more photos of the plate and handle.

    pulled this one from a yard sale today. looks like a disston 76. skewed back 8 pts. it's missing the medallion screw. i don't know if it should be w/s. or disston. maybe even some other maker and it's not a disston 76. saw has two etches. one says" MADE EXSPRESSLY FOR. BRIGHT CORNER KINKERTER & SHEPPARD. WARRENTED." the other all need to clean some more. but it goes something like this." THIS SAW IS INTENDED FOR THE MECHANIC WHO--------- FINER TOOLS------- ROBERT SHEPPARD.
