211836 "Steve Lineback" <steve.lineback@a...> 2011‑01‑02 J. Taylor and Son backsaw
Galoots I was getting together some of my better backsaws for a little
sharpening session and found an oddity. I have a 14 inch brass backed
saw marked J Taylor and Son Sheffield and Advance. There is a running
horse logo with a halo over the horses head and a lance or flag. The
only info I could find was Jim Crammond post about finding a 28" rip saw
back in 2002 and an old e-bay sale listing. Its in very nice shape and
after much head scratching remember buying it at one of Martins auctions
several years ago. Any guessed as to age or how long the company was in
business and for how long. Any help would be welcome. Steve
