    The one with Disston on it is a Disston , the one with the Kangaroo could be a Sorby.
    With out pictures can't tell what type of saw they are.
    Could be dovetail ,panel saw ,tenon or carcass saw , meat saw or bone saw.

    Gday Craig. You may also want to check out Backsaw.net. A great site all about Sheffield back saws (where your Sorby was made)
    Best regards, Luban
