This saw was made by Atkins for Shapleigh Hardware out of St. Louis, MO, and sold under the Diamond Edge brand name. It's a high-quality saw in excellent working condition. The plate is straight and clean. The apple handle is likewise excellent. It's a general-purpose 7-point crosscut configuration. The teeth are in good shape, but not sharp. It just needs to be filed, not a major overhaul. $45

This saw is barely used, sharp, and ready to use. It retails for $70 new. $50

This is a 26in, 8 point crosscut made by Disston in 1940 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the company. It has a clean, straight plate with a great etch. The handle is excellent. The teeth are quite sharp, and it cuts well. It could use a light filing if you want it perfectly sharp. It's a great general-purpose handsaw with a lot of history behind it. $55

This is a top-quality Sheffield saw made by Groves. It's an earlier example with a die-stamped plate, rounded nose, nib, and one crown stamp. The handle is very unusual. It has brass star decorations let into the handle. There are also circular insets on the top and bottom horns. I presume these conceal some sort of reinforcing bolt (similar to what S&J used) though they could be purely decorative. The insets shimmer like mother of pearl or some sort of iridescent stone or shell. I've never seen anything like it. The plate is decently clean and straight enough to use, but not perfect. The handle has a truncated top horn and some chipping on the bottom horn. It's a unique saw that I believe is something special. $70

This saw design was patented April 7, 1885. As far as I know, this is the only known example. I'll add the reference in DATAMP. It's a unique design that uses a "shank and socket" construction method. Th saw is in excellent condition overall. Andrews made saws in Williamsport PA and later worked with Harvey Peace or sold his patents to Peace. $45
