Title: Saws
Post by: john k on January 20, 2017, 09:53:15 PM

Recent pickups,  one with the black handle belonged to my dad, possibly bought in the 40s.   Never seen the triangle shape before.  Hope I have not shown them here before.

I just listed an advertising print block on Ebay for one of the triangular hacksaws.  I have never seen one of those saws before either, and I have had a bunch of hacksaws.

Interesting.   The top one with the hollow steel handle I discovered is a Bonney,  just needed stronger light to see the light stamping.

I bought a whole bunch of tool related advertising print blocks from one estate.  I kept some of the tape measure and Starrett related ones, and listed the rest on Ebay.  Most of them do not bring a whole lot, but they do sell.  A few years ago I got a large bunch of scythe related ones for a company in IN.  Those were hard to sell.
