The Number 40 Hand Saw

Features: Spring Steel Blade, Beech Handle.

Estimated Date of Manufacture: 1861-1884

The No. 40 handsaw is one of Peace's earliest saws. The only examples I've encountered all have split (spanner) saw nuts and stamped logos, both indicators of early saws. The No. 40 does not appear in the 1884 or 1895 Peace catalog, thus I assume it was discontinued sometime prior to 1884.
