Roll up roll up free vintage handsaws
Wow, I needed to do a better job of managing expectations! In my defence, I had soccer training this afternoon, then did pop into the shed and disassembled the most damaged one (the little dovetail saw with the split in the blade). 6 l of white vinegar is on tomorrow’s shopping list, in which the saws will be bathed for a couple of days to loosen the rust. I’m hoping to find a couple of hours this weekend to progress at least one saw.
Kind regards,
Lance
EDIT: oh, and I did pull a roofing screw out of a piece of timber with my bare hands. I’m feeling pretty macho this evening

I think you may have sprung me over the intricacies of the English language. Just to redeem myself a little, here are a selection of pix. Initially I thought I would be completely out of space. I had salvaged a crate from work, which was about two and a half meters long. I cut it down and fashioned two crude boxes for storage:

but I didn't need them for the moment as the pegs absorbed the new acquisitions. Actually I will have to have a major re-organisation so they won't be wasted. This is the "containment" area (used for spent fuel rods in the nuclear power industry, which is the source for my obscure analogy in the earlier post)

One of the most interesting saws was a Disston 1870 Compact. It was designed as a toolbox saw, and was probably the first of this type, so that the full size saw would fit a standard toolbox. It is a little bit of a gimmick as the section of blade beneath the handle is not really useable and consequently gives it little advantage over a 22" panel saw. This one has a cracked plate unfortunately: Pity that.

This combination saw is tidy enough, but I can't identify it immediately. I may have to trawl through the catalogues

I rather like these saws with the reinforcing plate. A quirk is that they were nearly all made with walnut handles despite the fact that they were at the lower end of the price scale. Again it will take some sleuth work to identify the brand as there is no marking. This saw also has a cracked plate right at the toe.

The only Simonds saw among the whole eighty four saws and it is not marked. The docking saws of all brands were 4 1/2ppi and crosscut. The square tabs where the handle is riveted to the plate are the giveaway that it is a Simonds. This one is from a late era long after Simonds had ceased production of carpentry handsaws in general in 1926. A similar saw appeared with the same perforated grip in the 1938 catalogue but it may even be post WW2. Simonds docking saws up to 1926 had a solid metal grip that weighed a tonne. This 30" saw is hefty

This docking saws is a particularly good example as it does not seem to have lost any depth. This is unusual as they were typically bought to be used by timber mills and bridge builders.
This is a rather nice Spear and Jackson with a lambs tongue and a recessed or sunken medallion. I think that it may have been a 28" saw originally as the bead looks a little short to my eyes. One saw screw must have been difficult to remove as a slot has been cut in to it (the split nut is still present on the other side). Note that the top screw is smaller than it's brothers.

Of course, there were a few more saws, but I will not test your patience there.
