    Hi Everyone, I'm looking to find out a little bit more about this Robert Sorby back saw I have. Is anyone able to give me a bit of a timeline, as to when it might have been produced?

    Thanks very much,

    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    Robert Sorby made saw over such a long period of time, that getting an accurate date is a bit of a guessing game, but going on the mark, and the kangaroo in particular, it looks more like the 1870 mark in BSSM than any of the others.
    So, based on the mark I'd be guessing 1870 - 1890.
