Ok, here's the rest of them, though not as speccy as the last 5, imho

Looks to be from Sweden
Blade is 26" long 6" at the heel and sharpened 7ppi rip
the blade has a nice kink in it
the medallion is pressed in, not a nut like those used historically

#18 Disston USA
Blade is 22" long and 5 1/4" at the heel
sharpened at 10ppi crosscut
blade has a nice bend in it, similar to a meander in the Murrumbidgee
the medallion and sawnuts are aluminium
the etch seems to be printed on to the blade

#19 Warranted Superior - Eagle
Blade is 22" long and 6" at the heel
sharpened at 10 ppi crosscut
has 10 stamped under tote at heel

this one might get a new fancier handle (Qld walnut maybe?)

#20 Spear & Jackson
Blade is 26" and 6 3/4" at the heel
sharpened at 7 ppi rip.
there's a small kink in the blade
the sawnuts are actually rivitts
could become scraper blades
Attachment 306356 Attachment 306357
#21 no name
blade is 26" long and 6 1/2" at the heel
sharpened at 6 ppi crosscut
there's a decent bow in this blade
this is, I think, destined to be a source of sawnuts

This might be my last lot acquired as I fettle them, learn to sharpen and then decide which are keepers and what else I want (need) for the yet to be made till.
