Hello all, Just to change the subject from crowns, although come to mention it if you look at......... I have no axe to grind with this saw and if I could afford it I would be very reluctant to put it on here, but apart from the cracked top to the handle, it is a very nice saw and must make a lovely addition to any collection. Especially for those of you who have a thing for S and J's. I wish I was adding it to mine! The horns are perfect. The out of focus photo for once is not my fault! Fred
Sorry, forgot to put the link. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190519414626&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT If this doen't work look under Vintage Spear and Jackson handsaw C1850 antique.
I think this is a lovely saw and would buy it, even with the split. However I suspect it will go over my price range within a day. very nice. regards lui
OK, so it took more than a day, but it also topped out at $202.50 by an American saw collector. Not bad for a saw that was recently sold uncleaned for £81. All credit should go to Fred for the spot of the original sale.
