The "Leapfrog" model is a "3rd" line Spear-Jackson handsaw (in 1915). The top line was "Double Mermaid", 2nd line "Mermaid". Asking price in 1915 for them in 26" skew back blade length was : Double Mermaid 128/- doz (Vanadium Alloy Steel) Mermaid 100/- doz (Silver Steel, London Spring) Leapfrog 70/- doz (Cast Steel) (I assume the prices are in "Shillings/Pence") It should be noted that in 1915 the Mermaid and Leapfrog trademarks were called "New Trade Marks" by Spear & Jackson. --ErvSaws |
