While looking for lost tools I found another Disston hand saw. It’s pretty rusty because it’s been in an outside storage shed for years and I’m just now cleaning it up. I can’t read the Etching yet, but I can see that it’s there and it doesn’t appear to have any deep scratches.
I tried to measure the teeth and I don’t know if it’s a 8 or a 9 tooth per inch. if I count the 1st tooth and the last tooth on the inch, I have 9.
The funny thing is that I just bought a Disston 8tpi saw on eBay so that I would have a set and now I find this one. I knew I had more saws, but didn’t know how many. I did give some away to my daughter and to my son. Neither my son nor my daughter has any respect for tools and the saw are probably laying out in the yard in the dirt. I myself did not know much about old saws and just assumed that they were worthless until recently.
