Plus, they are kind of cool to collect.
Every single person in the saw business made them.
I suspect sad iron trivet makers, iron cook stove and probably locomotive makers put them out too.
Everybody in the iron business!
There have to be dozens of patterns available, every single one at least a little different. From very plain to very fancy and often can be had for nearly peanuts.
Yup, saw jointers and saw sets can both still make large admirable collections for not so much money.
Trying to collect what every Tom Dick and Harry already wants? The popular tools?
That sux!!
You get to find 2 a year if you are lucky, and hock your socks to get them.
But find something you like that is relatively uncollected??
Jackpot!
