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.
