This one's mine!

I bough a large tool chest filled with tools last night. In that box I found this backsaw, a Disston saw with a Pryor & Matthews etch (defunct local hardware store). Other than being a bit dull, it's a beauty. I save all the saws I find from this store, so I'll being hanging on to this one.

I only regret the tools I didn't buy!

A BIT? There are no teeth at all. That isn't a saw, that is a unusual scraper with the most beautiful Disston handle I've seen.

No kidding, I really would I like to have a close view. You're not interested in some toothing? You just pay the shipping to germany.

Cheers

Someone fill me in on why there are no teeth at all.
