I found a copy of the Disston Hand-Book for Lumberman from 1902 online.
https://ia601400.us.archive.org/19/i...umbe00diss.pdf
While it is mostly focussed on circular saws (quite a lot of detail on tensioning), there are sections on crosscut saws, band saws and hand saws.
This includes a dozen or so pages on filing and setting hand saws.
It lists its premium saw set as the Diston Star hammer set.

Actually, I now think the video is the very similar Seymour Smith saw set.

I have the H. Aikens hammer saw set (fig. 10) shown in the top left of the following attachment. I purchased it over 12 months ago and still haven't trialed it.
The attachment also details other types of manufactured hammer sets.

Are these hammers sets common to find? I see heaps of the various plier types about.

I posted this pic quite a while back. It came from a Donnelly auction most likely.
I can see an advantage in the "spring-post" model ... this has a side-to-side sway of 10mm at the head ... needs shimming or other repair before it could be serviceable proposition.

Can't figure out why someone who sharpens saws regularly would persist with an under-sized saw vise!? Maybe you get used to it, but I hate having to stop & move the saw, I lose my rhythm.....
