Hello guys, I want to show you a couple of backsaws ... the stamp on the spine says : " W. Tyzack Sons & Turner, Sheffield, Cast Steel, Nonpareil " These two saws have a similar look but also have a few differences : The top saw has a stepped area in the handle (S) that is absent in the bottom saw, also the central horn has a more arched profile (H) ... The last difference is the presence of a medallion in the top saw !!! This is the stamp on the spine : ... and I know that the stamp is somewhere around 1910 . I've asked somewhere alse about the diferences between the two saws but didn't get any reply... so I was wondering if anybody has an idea about them. Is one of these two saws older than the other ? Is one of them a better quality saw ? I was just wondering if anybody could educate me on their different appearance !!! Any help would be very much appreciated !!!
Hey Mikey This is from a 1921 catalogue so you may get a good idea on the differences in the quality and price. http://www.tyzack.net/Saws.pdf I think they may be of the same vintage, just quality differences. Nice saws and in really good shape for 100 year old saws. enjoy them Joe S.
