Disston D-76 Commemorative
1876 - 1976 Bi-Centennial Saw
This unusual Disston saw was issued in 1976 as a
special by the town of Danville VA for the bicentennial in 1976.
Danville VA was the town that Disston had
moved to after it was sold in the 1950's. It is # 806 of 1000 made for
that event and
is in like new condition.
The collector ordered it, opened up the box
to take a look and then put it back on the shelf to never be seen again till
now. It has the original display board, the original paper wrap,
and original shipping box.
It has a strong etch describing the event with other info, and there
is also a piece of brittle paper describing the event. The handle is a nice
design and this saw will be a welcome addition to the saw or tool collection.
Very few of these turn up and even fewer in this nice condition. A
must have for the complete Disston collection. Nice

Saws by
Other Makers
The
J.
Flint Rochester NY Two Man / Two Handle Saw
Here is an odd ball 19th century saw. J. Flint is well known saw
maker who first set up in Rochester NY and later moved his business into
Canada. He is most famous for his near unique patented hand saw handle
design that has two handles on the same end to allow the user to better use
both hands when rip cutting lumber.
There are plenty of
references to him and his business to be found online, especially concerning
that patented 2 handle saw handle. He is also well known for his line of
well made backsaws and articles about them have appeared in the Gristmill.
Despite that I could find no info about, or references to, a saw like this.
I could also not find a copy of any catalogs although I did see reference to
ones. Disston put out a similar saw which is pictured in their 1876
catalog. (see last pic)
The overall condition is very nice. The horns
on the distinctive handles are good, and the teeth are all good. The blade
is not pitted or rusty. The
stamp is clear, and placed right in the middle of the saw blade. Different!!

3
different 2 Man Cross Cut Saws
The largest one is an 8' saw. It is NOS. The others are just
under 6'. I cleaned the light
rust that was on these saws. I used a nylon brush on a power sander. All
three saws came from a closed hardware store and had minor storage rust
issues. I think you can see in the pics that they have not been
sharpened or used at all. You can just make out etches on 2 of them. The
8' one says Precision Ground. Also included is the pair of Disston handles
which are also new / NOS.

Disston & Sons #8 12" Half-Back Saw The overall
condition is very nice. The etch is still visible, and it is straight.No
pitting or rust to speak of.
The handle is damage free and very nice.
Any Disston Half-Back saw is
pretty rare and a very
hard to find saw. This one having a 12" blade makes it doubly so. All of the
info I found online about Disston Half Back saws says it does not exist in
this 12" size and that 14" was the smallest offered. There was an article
in a MWTCA Gristmill a while back by saw collector / researcher Phil Baker that indicated he had one this
size and that it is overall smaller in scale than the 14" or others. Not having one
of those, I am not sure about that. Who wants something few others have?

Henry
Disston & Son 16" No. 77 "Mechanics Own" No Set Back Saw The
condition of this rare #77 No Set Disston & Son Back Saw is as nice as you will ever find
or see. Let's call it FINE to get that out of the way. The etch is
clear and bold. There is some staining as seen. There is no
rust or pitting to speak of. It is straight.
The handle is damage free and very nice. Note that it is a Disston & Son,
which would mean it was one of the earliest versions of this saw.
I read these saws were filed differently from
normal backsaws, and this one sure fits that description.
I spoke to several saw-savy people and heard several different opinions.
I have provided a number of photos so you can decide for yourself.
Bottom line is that this is such a rare saw I do not think most would
know what is or isn't "right" or original. I do not. That is
why I have provided all the pics. As with the rare # 8 half back I
have listed above, the real question here is, who wants something few others have?
Opportunity knocks!!!
Fine. . . . . $600.00 SOLD!!
Early Disston
Dome Nut 12" Backsaw
This unusual early Disston backsaw is pretty nice. The blade is straight and has a
lot of depth left. There is some minor pitting that can be worked
around if it is to be put back into use. The teeth look ok and there
are no broken ones, but it will need to be sharpened.
The brass back in addition to
the Disston & Eagle logo is stamped spring steel /
extra temper as well as the Phila. Pa location below the Federal Eagle.
The fruitwood handle is solid with just minor slivers / chips off the horns.
The threaded stud for the large dome nut where one would expect to see a
stamped medallion is
broken off and the dome nut on the back side is missing.
A
note about the style of high dome nuts this saw has. Cresson, an
early Philadelphia PA saw maker used this style nut before Disston bought
them out around 1860. According to the Disstonian
Institute, a website about Disston Saws and their history, Disston used
this style nut on their handsaws in the 1860's
- 1870's. I found no reference or illustrations there about their use
on back saws. Given that the brass back is marked simply Disston and that
this logo predates the use of the Disston and Son logo introduced in about
1865, I believe we can safely date this saw as being from the Civil War era
of 1860 - 1865. An early and rare example of a finely made backsaw!!
Good . . . . .$350.00 SOLD!!
Disston Cone / Dome / Tall Nut Back Saw Although the
brass back is marked Orton Jewett & Busby, I do not think they were the

will make a fine user after a tune-up..
