This small saw is marked Henry Wilson no. 12. It has a Disston-looking handle and the Disston version of the Warranted Superior medallion. The handle is stamped by Belknap Mills, the Laconia, NH textile company. The plate is straight and very clean. The nib is present. It's 11PPi crosscut. All of the teeth are in good shape and somewhat sharp. It will need just a normal light filing. There is a very tight check in the handle across the medallion. It's tight and stable. An excellent worker in a very desirable size. $45

This saw has seen considerable use and measures 3/4in deep at the toe. The plate is straight and clean with a nice bright etch. The handle has light wear but no damage. It's 9 point crosscut. It dates to 1911-1928 based on the medallion and etch. It needs a light filing, but no major tooth work. It is a 10ppi crosscut configuration which is useful for fine crosscutting on thin stock. A solid worker with some life left to it still. $25

This saw dates to the late 1860s based on the medallion and etch. It has a very shallow plate due to use but.. I suspect it was originally a ship saw based on the etch location. If a normal depth handsaw were used this much the etch would be half-gone by now. It has a straight plate and good teeth. The apple handle is in surprisingly excellent condition considering the amount of use it's seen. $25

This is a simple cast steel, beech handled saw made by Wheeler, Madden. and Clemson in Middletown, NY. It has the distinctive handle shape stamped with Holden's June 3, 1879 patent date. It has a clean straight plate with a very light etch. The handle is in good shape. It's a bit of an oddity, and definitely not one of their top-end saws, though still usable. $40

This saw dates to the post-WWII late 1940s early 1950s era. It has a clean, straight plate with a faint etch. The handle is excellent save some minor finish loss. The teeth are all in good shape and surprisingly sharp, though not perfect. It's a perfectly usable saw and a bargain due to its slightly later date of manufacture. $45
