Got an open handled backsaw at the TTTG saw sharpening workshop yesterday. Manufacturers stamp on the back is as above, Syer & Co. No location like Sheffield or suchlike. Any ideas on this manufacturer? Cheerio, Virg.
Hey Virg, Welcome aboard. W.L. Goodman\'s \"British Planemakers\", for me a good standby, says \"Thomas J Syer of London started in business as cabinet makers about 1880. By 1888, the company was styled T Sayer & Co. and described as ironmongers, patent vice and improvement tool depot, cabinet and technical workshop, office and shop fitters. By 1911, the business was toolmakers.\" hope this helps...Ray may have more. Joe
