Not to beat a dead horse (miter box?) but -

My 346 has four patent dates, the last being 1-2-12. There was another 
patent granted on 10/29/12 and the length stops, which mine lacks were 
patented 1916. My saw, which I'll assume is the Simonds #96, is marked 
Simonds Mfg Company (arched) and Fitchburg Mass on the spine. The etch says 
'made expressly for Stanley Rule & Level Co.'. The medallion is the common 
one dated pre-1922 . So I'm dating mine between 1912 and 1916.

Not that it solves anything.   ;^)
