Carcase Backsaw
13 point Cross Cut
1910-20s
A very clean example of a must have tool for most woodworkers: the carcase backsaw. All maker offered one, the Disston by far, the most poplar in the US. This ones a 13 point and freshly sharpened cross cut. Perfect for general cuts in the shop or on the job.
The saw overall is in "as found" condition and not sanded, only polished. The handles in great shape was a few scratches otherwise factory fresh. Both horns are clean and full. No repairs made or needed. Note the top horn does have a cosmetic chip on on corner. The straight and smooth plate has some light stains and etch marks, nothing deep that would effect cut. The factory etch is light but readable. Something on No 4s of this age you do find often, The 13 point cross cut was freshly sharpened with sloped gullets to aid in smooth cuts with less feedback. The saw has been tested and ready to go out of the box. The Carcase saws were offered in a few sizes, 14" is the most popular for general use and makes a great uses.

NOT SO FINE PRINT
Please carefully review the pictures, I have done my best to describe things as I see them. ALWAYS feel free to email with any questions and I will do my best to answer them.  I make every effort to ship next day after payment M-F.
I now use the ebay calculator that allows local customers a better rate then a single flat rate coast to coast.
I'm happy to combined shipping but please contact me BEFORE payment so I can combine
I accept returns up to 14 days
. I do not charge extra for shipping but do charge .50 to cover the cost of the box. These older saws can damage easily and I find it's better to use a custom box rather then recycle ones.
Please take a second to look at this and other saws I offer. I put a good deal of effort into each saw and I want you, the buyer to be happy. E-mail with any issues and I will do my best to resolve them in a peaceful way. 

Thanks for look and I invite you to read my feedback, It’s a gift and you should bid with confidence based on it.
