Enormous apologies Peter, Unfortunately, for the last couple of months life has got in the way of saws and I have never got round to replying....
Hi Peter, I am away from home at the moment and will be for about a week. When I get back I will try to find the saw, do some measurements and...
Hi, [ATTACH] If you look at "Warranted", that is somewhere near as regular as a stamp should be. Most of the letter placings are just about...
Hi Kiwi, I have never resolved the usage of "& Co." in my own mind. Sometimes I think that it is put there purely to give the name that extra bit...
Hi, A bit of a WAG re dating and handle. According to the entry on p.73 of BSSM, the mixture of capitals and lower case in "Sheffield" should...
Hi, It is always nice to have someone posting who is working with saws, especially repairing as opposed to manufacturing from scratch. I will...
Hello all, I have just bought another one of these and I am now sure that it is Iohn Spear. I also know that I have the combined might of Simon...
Hi Bob, I cannot see this one in your database. It is a Slack Sellars from a saw that was made, if not yesterday, then the day before that. I...

Hello all, The handle is not much to write home about on this saw, and neither have I been able to find this specific maker in the online...
Hello all, There is a 1797 directory which I cannot now find online, but which I am sure was published on the earlier Historical Directories...
Hi Ray, I looked a long time ago and there is not an Ebay in Russia, with exactly that in mind to which you allude. Whether there is an...
Hi, If I squint hard at the maker's mark, I can see the glimmerings of a dot between German and Steel. Is this correct? In any event, there is...
Hello all, One of the thing that I like about saws is that on occasion, one thing leads to another. And so it is with this saw. The saw itself is...
Hi Peter, I had a watch on this saw both of the times that it was up for sale. The first time at this price (886 USD) the saw did not meet its...
Hello all, Here is one that I cannot find in BSSM. My first thought is that it is a late 19th century cheapie and a brand, although that remains...
Hello all, I am going to offer these two up as candidates for updates to BSSM. Both I am reasonably sure are British saws, with Kington being...
