Spear & Jackson saw questions
Are my Google skills wanting or is there a dearth of S&J saw information on the net?
I have the green covered "The Handsaw Catalogue Collection." This publication has a few pages about S&J saws (from 1915) at the end of the book and mentions the S&J brands. How are these ranked in terms of quality?
Double Mermaid and Mermaid appear to be a premium line, Leapfrog, perhaps a notch under the Mermaids based on catalogue price. The Goblin saws appears to be their cheaper line. There are John Cockerill saws that appear to encompass a few models - Aetna, Sovereign. Aetna appears to be a sub-brand on it own, too. Technical, Lloyd Davies, S&J (itself)............................(Marketing confusion to rival a contemporary mobile phone contract!)
Has anybody produced a descriptive list of S&J brands or published a web page showing models, etches and medallions? Did S&J regularly produce and publish tool catalogues?

I have looked relentlessly, and no!
I wish there was something like the disstonianinstitute for Spear & Jackson but no one has done that, unfortunately."Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."

They did print catalogs, you see them for sale occasionally, but not very often.

We should start one, a wiki where contributors could post information would be a good starting point.

I started collecting links together a while back ... there is information collected here, but I'm not 100% sure it is the main thread.
Cheers,
