Trade Marks

Trade Marks are an important in the unambiguous identification of a particular maker. With backsaws especially, the trade mark is usually stamped on the back of the saw and so provides a permanent method of identification.

This list of trade marks is taken from Kellys 1901 trade directory. I will add others here are they become available.
