265980 "Cal Meier" <calmeier@s...> 2018‑06‑02 Thanks to all who shared wisdom about the Spear and Jackson Medallion
Thanks to Mike, Kirk, Bob and others who shared their knowledge about the Spear
and Jackson saw and its somewhat unique Medallion.

As was suggested, the medallion is actually a pretty standard medallion with a
escutcheon collar or flange captured under the edge of the center medallion.  I
was also introduced to Simon Barley’s British Saws and Saw Makers since 1660
(circa $90. and then stumbled into a condensed ($21.00) version on the same
topic by Barley.  In recent months I have been impressed with the British
history of record keeping and general desire to retain such history of
production.

Again thanks for adding to my education.

Take care,

Cal Meier
