    Default Robt. Sorby saw 3 crowns

    Hi all, I spotted the handle to this saw among a pile of junk, and thought I'd take a gamble, very dissapointed as it is only half a saw but intersting in its own right, it is a Robt Sorby Sheffield with 3 crowns but I cannot find a Kangeroo assuming it had one, and also a blank medallion which I have no reason to believe is not original, any thoughts on this one?

    My; What big teeth you have!
    I think it was before the kangaroo logo. Looks an old style of handle. Some of the saw experts should have more info.
    Regards

    Thanks John I'm hoping someone may know a little something about the time period, among the "junk" was a nice little Tyzack & Turner No.13(elephant brand) 12inch backsaw which sort of made up for the disappointment on the other.

    Robt Sorby started c 1830. Barley Ref illustrations of marks suggests the kangaroo was used from before 1870. The handle suggests early, so around 1850 is my guess
