Looking at this ad further, I noticed the similarity in saw model
numbers to Disston model numbers

L7
L8
L100
L112

Anyone have good enough eyes and imagination to see if L = D

The L30 and L32 don't match anything number wise in my Atkins or
Simonds catalogs, and I don't see those on the Disstonian either (love
the new article Erik, haven't read the entire thing, or all the emails
surrounding it yet.)
