Description

Disston & Sons
Made For
Hammacher Schlemmer & Co.
12 inch Carcase Backsaw
14 point Hybrid - Sash style Cut
1910-20s
10 inch Disston made backsaw, made for Hammacher Schlemmer Co. in NYC. It's fairly early model as the etch isn't fully readable but you can make out the "Made For" which was later removed and a larger Hammacher Schlemmer Co. etch was used. It also uses the DIsston label screw and stamped back that later in production was replaced with warranted superior screw and
Hammacher Schlemmer Co stamped back
.
They produced the standard No 4 for H&S  in a few sizes and pitches. This one is 14 point and freshly sharpened hybrid or Sash style, perfect for general cuts in the shop or on the job. The hybrid filling allows for both cross and rip cuts. The handle is in really great shape but a little sun bleached. I've used some oil and shellac finish to protect it. a few scratches otherwise factory fresh. Both horns are clean and full. The straight and smooth plate has some stains and etch marks, noth deep that would effect cut. The factory etch is light but readable. 14 point hybrid cut was freshly sharpened with sloped gullets to aid in smooth cuts with less feedback. The saw has been tested and ready to go out of the box. The 10 inch backsaw makes a great uses in the shop or on the job.
Have a look at the photos and details below. Let me know if you have any questions.
Now on instagram! @ secondchancesawworks have a look of what's on the bench.
ABOUT THE SAW
HANDLE:
Clean handle, made of apple wood. The wood was a little sun bleached with little finish left. I used some shellac to better protect it. Just a few marks and stains from age but otherwise its as it should be. Hardware is in good shape and tight to the plate.
PLATE:
Straight and clean with a few light marks and stains, nothing deep that would effect cut.
The stained etch is light and mostly readable something on backsaws you just don't find. I take great care in my sharpening process and don't simply sharpen and list. After the saw is sharpened I test cut then tune as needed for best use. The 14 point was filed hybrid or Sash type. This filling allows for both cross and rip cuts and sharpened with sloped gullets. Perfect for use with a bench hook or tail vise for mortise and tenons. The saw makes
clean cut with a nice finish.
Please excuse any dust in the pictures the saw will be wiped down before it's mailed. After looking over pics let me know if you have any questions.

NOT SO FINE PRINT
Please carefully review the pictures, I have done my best to describe things as I see them. ALWAYS feel free to email with any questions and I will do my best to answer them.  I make every effort to ship next day after payment M-F.
I now use the ebay calculator that allows local customers a better rate then a single flat rate coast to coast.
I'm happy to combined shipping but please contact me BEFORE payment so I can combine
I accept returns up to 14 days
. I do not charge extra for shipping but do charge .50 to cover the cost of the box. These older saws can damage easily and I find it's better to use a custom box rather then recycle ones.
Please take a second to look at this and other saws I offer. I put a good deal of effort into each saw and I want you, the buyer to be happy. E-mail with any issues and I will do my best to resolve them in a peaceful way. 

Thanks for look and I invite you to read my feedback, It’s a gift and you should bid with confidence based on it.
