Another in my series of wandering the country side
Found this little number on the weekend, just gone. At Tyabb Vic.
From the Disston family no less.
Reason for purchase was because of the handle.
Ok ,who am I trying to kid, I just wanted it.
But ,after extensive research session last night
(10 min lol)
The medallion dates it to around the 1900 hundreds going by the Disston website.
But ,I can't find anything else there, was one similar saw but it had one medallion and two saw bolts.
Not just one of each.
It reminds of its big brother saws the thumbhole the D8 model.
The plate is in pretty good condition very straight teeth are blunt except just under the handle.
I'm trying to believe and want there to be an etch but I can't make one out yet.
I have to wait till my workshop is over it's deep freeze moment [emoji854][emoji854][emoji854].
(Minus 2 on the weekend over night)
