The value is what someone will pay you for it. That doesn't answer your question directly, but putting it in the S&S here will quickly determine what it's real value is. I remember Ed making saws but that was a long time and many saw makers ago. Most people here may not be aware of him as a maker. Post good photos.

I pulled this off the Village Carpenter blog, they look pretty nice. Prices for saws have gone up since 2011, when he stopped production, so I'd figure 10-20% off of what you paid for it back then. Somehow I don't think its really a collector's item, but an excellent user for someone. Other than that, I got nothin'

Hi Dave
two, three loose thoughts:
I'm not sure ift the saws of the 21st century boutique maker are or will become collectable. The vollumes are so low.
The value for collectors depends on the story and the condition. Pictures will help. (Allways)
Value if you sell to a user? Price of LV or LN + x$ for the bigger beauty.
What about offering it to Ed? If things have run bad, he didn't kept one for his son or grandson.
I know that wasn't very helpful, but now go to your shop and take some pictures. It is too long that I've seen one of Ed's saws!
Cheers

Thats Ed from Oakville Canada right?
I have 3 of his saws...didn't know he stopped making them.
I think I paid about 80 or a hundred for the dovetail
