Hi, I heard that it brought $1100 ... this was secondhand from someone who
had a bid in on it.

Okay, I'll bite:  What is a Panther saw?

If you can get your hands on a February 1991 Smithsonian there is an
article about the sick individuals that COLLECT TOOLS. It was the first
hint I had that I was not alone in my affliction. It legitimized my lusts.
It is a great article with lots of neat pictures. On page 63 is the
Woodrough & McParlin panther head saw. At the very top of the wooden handle
where it intersects with the blade is the carved head of a panther, facing
into the blade. The text on page 58 describes Chad Palmers saw as "one of
just six such saws known to exist from W&P's 1866-81 production run. Like
the others, this one has the a snarling panther's head cut into the curling
tail of the saw handle. It was a priceless and thrilling discovery. But
best of all it was his."

 Chuck Zitur educates us on Panther saws......

 and I'm first in line for a great new niche product...

 I would like it known that this is a firm and definite order for the
 IT Panther saw, when available, and you chaps had better form an
 orderly Q.

Why be a copycat?  Let's do something original like an aardvark or a llama.

  While a panther saw handle (where the blade is, I don't know) 
resides in ITCo's inner sanctum, there are no plans to produce
one.

Was there ever any doubt that this would be so?

The problem is not artificial intelligence, 
it's natural stupidity. O-

Quite honestly I'm shocked.  I would've thunk that the MofA took 
better care of his tools. ;-)

Just say,  Sorry.  At least I edited severely.

Hi,

The panther saw was made by Woodrough and McParlin (sp) of Cincinatti... The
main feature was a panther head carved on each side on the front of the
handle by the blade.
