Hello all, I like this saw a lot. The horns are substantially intact and the blade is nearly straight. The boss, to my mind is enormous for the size of the saw (11 5/8ths inch blade) BSSM does have a Staniforth mark recorded but this is a variant of the one published and (I think that I have mentioned this before ), I have a particular liking for cast (hyphens). For those of you who do not have BSSM, Staniforth is recorded at Hollis Croft, Sheffield between 1821 and 1823 - ish, firstly as Staniforth and Marsden and then as Staniforth and Co. Fred
Hi Fred, I like it a lot too. It has a great handle, as you say, and a wonderfully canted brass back. A really good looker that I'd be happy to have. David
Hi Fred, It's a gorgeous saw & one that has quite an unusual handle- that boss is MASSIVE & looks really cool. A lovely early saw, & the "dash" is interesting too. Thanks for posting it... Regards Mari
