The No. 35 Hand Saw

Features: Cast Steel, Grained Blade, Warranted; Beech Handle, Polished Edges, four Brass Improved Screws, one Embossed, Warranted Equal to any, The Standard saw for mechanics.

The No35 saw was on the low-end of the hand saws offered by Harvey Peace. Offered at approx. half the price of the high-end No. 60, the 35 featured a beech handle and cast steel blade. It is remarkably similar to the Disston #7. Two examples of this saw are shown below:

The first saw (top in the above picture) a 26" rip saw, custom-etched for Herman Doerge.

The second saw (bottom in the above picture) appears to be a later model, base don the medallion style and handle. The blade has a additional etch that reads: "This saw is fully warranted in every particular way. For workmanship and durability it cannot be excelled. Harvey W. Peace."
