Butcher made the iron. The plane was made by someone else, who, I don't know, but the old tools cognoscenti appear to know, hence the high price.

Thread: A Rehab day
Post: RE: A Rehab day
I think that "thing" is a pretty uncommon Woodrough & McParlin patented keyhole saw. All you should have to do is sharpen it. |

Thread: First attempt at making a saw handle
Post: RE: First attempt at making a saw handle
The saw shown in post #5 is certainly not an early Disston # 10. I have heard that Pete Taran had an etched # 10, which I've never seen. Since the etches came in in the mid 1860's, it's possible tha... |

Thread: What yr range would this saw be from?
Post: Re: What yr range would this saw be from?
Disston used a die stamp like the one on your saw until about 1864 or 5, when he began to use etching to mark his saw blades. So that would make your saw pre-1865. But just how pre- I couldn't say... |
