Goodell Pratt Hacksaw
« on: April 13, 2012, 10:46:43 PM »
This old Goodell Pratt hacksaw was my dads.  He never had a power hacksaw, he just put one of his four boys to work cutting while he did the welding.  I still use this saw, it's a favorite. Does anyone out there have one like it or know anything about them?  I haven't seen another like it anywhere.

Search me; I've never seen one like this, not even a little.  Sure looks useful with that knob on the front.

From the oldtools archives: "Goodell-Pratt heavy duty hack saw frame-----#69. Takes from 8" to 12" blades.
The size is set by loosening a wooden knob on top of the frame and sliding
it over a notch and retightening."

I know I have never seen one before...(not that that means much, there are quite a lot of things I have never seen before ;P)

The longer I hang out here, the stupider I feel.....

Nice saw. Millers falls No6 was very similar, any connection between them?

Rusty Re: hanging out here, I somtimes feel the same way! but if you think about it, the the opposite is really true. The more knowledge we gain here the less stupider we are!

Some times it seems to me the more I learn the less I know. 

I did find a Goodell Pratt cataloge from 1928 that has this saw in it over on the Rosetool site. The saw with nickle plating sold for $3.30 in 1928.  Goodell Pratt made a lot of great tools, you just don't see them much anymore.

The reason for the similarity to the Millers Falls saw was, they bought out Goodell&Pratt in 1931, and still made some of the earlier models.   I've always been on the look out for a good heavy frame hack saw, in their catalog there is a big frame saw for cutting pipe, with a handle on each end!  Two man hacksaw.

That's the beginning of wisdom.

I found this in a PDF of a Goodell Pratt cataloge on the Rose Tool site.
