55402 tmcclus@j... (Thomas E. McCluskey) 1999‑01‑02 Spear & Jackson Saw
Dear GGs

Found a different kind of saw in the land where there are no trees.

This is an old nibbed saw.  Etching on the blade reads as follows:

           SPEAR & JACKSON   (arched over a crown)

            (small picture
              of a crown)

            S (5 arm Maltese Cross) J
               SHEFFIELD
         CAST STEEL WARRANTED
        PATENT  NO.24  MACHINE
                GROUND

Blade has some surface rust.  Handle is missing upper horn and is
attached by four split nuts (including medallion).  Medallion is similar
to blade etching up to the word "Sheffield."

Any info is appreciated.
