Hello all, its been a while since Ive posted. Just thought Id share an owners mark I spotted when cleaning this old Sorby. Nice to get a date aswell.
To me it looks like a chemical etch process was used.... If I remember correctly, the transfer etching technique dates from around late 1840's I wonder did he work for one of the companies that made the etch transfers?
Ok, so clearly my memory’s going the same way as my eyesight. Well at least I got the thrill of “discovering “ the etching/engraving twice. I remembered the saw just not the name on the back or the fact that Id posted it here . Embarrassing. Ive added abetter pic
