This lot features a charming collection of four vintage hand saws, offering a glimpse into traditional woodworking craftsmanship. Each saw boasts a distinctive character, with varying sizes and blade styles, appealing to both collectors of antique tools and woodworking enthusiasts seeking functional pieces for restoration or display.
Included in this lot:
Small Brass-Backed Dovetail/Tenon Saw: The smallest in the collection, featuring a robust brass spine for precise, controlled cuts – ideal for fine joinery such as dovetails or tenons. Its compact size suggests use in intricate work or as a panel saw for smaller stock.
Medium-Length Panel Saw: A versatile hand saw of medium length, likely used for general-purpose crosscutting or ripping tasks in a workshop. Note the classic wooden handle, possibly applewood or beech, with signs of age and use.
Large General-Purpose Hand Saw: The longest saw in the collection, indicating its suitability for breaking down larger timber or for extensive ripping and crosscutting. This saw embodies the workhorse of traditional carpentry.
Distinctive Large Hand Saw with Scabbard/Sheath: This substantial saw, complete with a custom-fitted wooden scabbard, suggests a tool valued for its protection and portability. The scabbard helps preserve the blade and teeth, reflecting care taken by a previous owner.
