Rare Vintage 10" Henry Disston & Sons Backsaw Hand Saw Made for J.B. Hunter & CoUp for sale is a Disston backsaw with a 10" blade plate. The saw is marked Disston on the spine and medallion, and the name J.B. Hunter & Co. is etched on the blade plate. The saw was made by Disston for J.B. Hunter Co. Based on the medallion markings, size, and shape, the saw likely dates from 1947-1955. Has a 13/16" medallion.
On the medallion side of the handle, near the top where the handle meets the spine, there is a small imperfection with a piece chipped off. The saw needs a proper sharpening and is worth restoring. The etching on the blade is not the best, but it is readable and may be salvageable.
Comes as seen in the pictures. Any questions, just ask.
