Title: Anyone know what this is?
Post by: Butcher1942 on December 30, 2020, 07:48:32 PM: Hey All,

New here and my second post besides my intro. And glad to be here :)

Anyway, I just opened up some stored boxes from my Grandfather who passed 20 years ago and he got a decent amount of tools from his Father (My Great Grand Grand). So some of them are from the 1800s and such.

I have been doing some research on this one particular tool and cannot seem to find any info about this tool through searches and little info about the company and their tool line.

It appears to be a Pocket Multi Saw marked "Atlas CO NY". It seems pretty cool as it has many blades with numbers on each one and was just wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these or know what the correct name of it of the possible era it was made?

Thanks a bunch and I look forward to enjoying this forum!

:)

Thanks, Gibsontool I just looked that up and it looks like that.

That saves me a lot of time :) I kept searching for Pocket Saw and such.
