They began 07 August 1978, the plane, I believe, is older than that.

It does.

Not a bad looking repair on that one.

Joseph Steiner and four of his sons founded the company in 1859, everything they made until they closed in 1991 had "Steiner 1859" on it. The logo on the saw you posted has the logo as seen on the...

That's just cool! :thumbup:

'78-'84, best I can do.

Not a bad saw, nice handy length too, clean 'er up and keep it.

The last Disstons with plastic handles (RAF) looked like this, but they weren't hardpoint, you can sharpen them.

I'm going to agree with the Sandvik idea, they used chrome plated philips head screws, the later RAF Disston Precision used aluminum philips head screws and always included their aluminum medallion.

Is the handle yellow plastic, or painted yellow? I see yellow paint on your blade.

It won't have an etch, just screen print that is probably long gone.

Very late D-111, looks like an HK Porter.

Which other saw?

+1 to what Pac man said.

She's a beauty! What finish did you use?

I like nose heavy, and I like a thicker than normal handle, but hollow plastic does nothing for me. :rolleyes:

Still very cool though! :2tsup:

Yep, those wood and aluminum things are awful! :(

Oz version of a D-100?

Look.

Just foolin' around buddy. Hope someone can ID that thing for you! :2tsup:

Yay!

No, they're not sought after, but they work. :2tsup:

And no response from Dave, not "kiss my " or nuthin. :((

And Dave doesn't respond. :?

Dave doesn't like me. :whistling:

Send Ray a PM.

Yes, but 1871 ~ early 1880s narrows it down a bit.

.

They are also listed in the 1948 catalog. http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/1948.html

But not the 1953. http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/1953.html

From the looks of your handle I'd say yours...

It's a Keystone K-6 or K-6 1/2.

I've got a K-3 Pacemaker and a K-6 1/2 Challenger, they work, but they're nothing special, just good user saws.

6 lb. 14 oz.!!!! :o

There may not be a patent for that specific saw vise.

Cool stuff Paul! :2tsup:

Looks like it's been in the ground for a while, should have left it there. :C

Yours is a Wentworth No 1.

Paul,


Vintage Very Old Saw Vise | eBay


Leather working or "harness" vise.

I could not agree more! Never, and I mean NEVER trap a piece of wood so that it cannot move, or it will crack in between the bolts.

If anyone is looking for cheap screws for later saws....

That's a HUGE slot, and you buggered the wood when you tightened it! But it's nice to have another source.

You nailed it, 1896-1918, #5, and she looks nice. You don't see many 5s over here (USA) but it's not rare or valuable other than being a nice saw worth fixing and using.

Four teeth and a big gullet, some sort of "combination" saw for timber framing?

Another similar saw is the Atkins 93 Improved Universal saw.

Yeah, I saw that bronze one too, good stuff! 297105

Nice, especially after it turns brown.

Would that be a useful alternative for you fellas in Australia? Cheap, easy to find, and easy to work?

How about a copper spine?
