    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.
