Disston D8 Thumb-Hole Rip Saw – 28-Inch Blade, 4.5–6 TPI, Vintage Apple Wood Handle

Description

An old Disston Philadelphia hand saw, fitted with a finger-hole / thumb-hole design handle which we believe is made from Apple.

This is an early Disston fingerhole saw which we believe dates 1896 – 1917

The medallion is marked ‘H Disston & Sons, Philada’.

The blade has a good clear etching for an early version of this saw – this etching is different to later versions.

These saws are getting increasingly hard to find, especially in this condition.
