COMPLETE DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS
OK WELL ....
FIRST:
AN EXPLANATION FOR THE THOSE FOLKS WHO HAD CONTACTED ME ....
WONDERING WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THIS SAW THAT WAS LISTED BRIEFLY LAST SUNDAY EVENING ....
IN ERROR ...
WHILE I WAS AWAY.
YOU SEE, ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE UPLOADED TO A LISTING THAT WAS SCHEDULED AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, WITH THE INTENT OF COMPLETING THE DESCRIPTION WHEN I HAD A FREE MOMENT AND ....
IN THE CHAOTIC SCHEDULE I KEEP ..... PROMPTLY FORGOTTEN.
GOT IN AT 2 AM MONDAY MORNING AND CHECKING MY EMAIL I HAD A MESSAGE FROM A GOOD AND OBSERVANT MAN WHO IS ONE OF THE FEW WHO ACTUALLY READS THE DESCRIPTIONS ...
AND HE CORRECTLY NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT.
SO ... I CANCELED THE BIDS.
AND THAT, MY FRIENDS ....
IS THE
REST
OF THE STORY.
AFTER READING THE FOLLOWING, I TRUST THAT YOU WILL COME TO UNDERSTAND WHY I FELT IT PRUDENT THAT THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION NOT BE LEFT ABSENT.
ANYWAY ...
THIS IS A SAW THAT HAD BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR YEARS ....
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I LOOKED IN THE SAW BOX OF "SOME DAY" SAWS .....
THIS ONE, WOULD BE LOOKING AT ME ...
PLEADING, LIKE THE COWERING ABUSED LITTLE PUPPY AT THE POUND ....
"OH PLEASE ..... PLEASE PICK ME"
IT WAS A SAW THAT I FOUND PERSONALLY OFFENSIVE.....
BUT FOR NO FAULT IF IT'S OWN.
YOU SEE, IT HAD AT ONE POINT IN IT'S SAD LIFE ...
BEEN ATTENDED TO BY ONE OF THE "SAW RESTORATION GURUS"
AND I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT FIND IT IN MY BIG WARM HEART TO CONDEMN IT ....
FOR THE INDIGNITY OTHERS HAD SUBJECTED IT TO.
THAT'S JUST THE KINDA GUY I AM ....
COMPASSIONATE.
SO, WHEN I FOUND A FEW SPARE MOMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST YEAR ...
I DID WHAT I COULD TO RETURN SOME OF IT'S DIGNITY.
NOW .... DURING THE COURSE OF DOING SO ....
I FOUND A REWARD I HAD NOT EXPECTED.
SOMETHING THAT EVEN AN IDIOT LIKE ME COULD BE CONFIDENT IN.
THOSE WHO ARE PARTICULARLY OBSERVANT ....
WILL NOTICE THAT  ....WITH IT'S "SONS" ETCH...
THAT THE "SON" MEDALLION IS RETAINED FROM THE EARLIER ERA ...
MAKING IT ONE OF THE SCARCE "TRANSITIONAL" SAWS.
PLACING THE PRODUCTION DATE RIGHT AT 1871.
FURTHER SUPPORTING MY LONG HELD BELIEF THAT MANY PATENTED FEATURES ....
WERE OFTEN IN PRODUCTION BEFORE THE PATENT ACTUALLY ISSUED
.
PROBABLY AS SOON AS THE PATENT WAS FILED AND TIME STAMPED AT THE PATENT OFFICE ....
ESTABLISHING THE MOMENT OF PRIORITY PROTECTION.
IN THIS IMMEDIATE CASE I AM REFERRING TO THE IMPROVED "CENTENNIAL" TYPE SCREWS.
ANYWAY ....
FROM 1871
A NEAR FULL WIDE EXAMPLE OF ...
DISSTON'S ICONIC LONDON SPRING No.12
IN THE 10 POINT
CROSSCUT
CONFIGURATION.
TO SERVE AS THE ULTRA FINE FINISH CROSSCUT IN YOUR NEST.
RUNNING SMOOTH, PRECISE AND CAREFREE IN ....
