An old Disston Philadelphia hand saw, fitted with a finger-hole / thumb-hole design handle which we believe is made from Apple.
This is an early Disston fingerhole saw which we believe dates 1896 - 1917
The medallion is marked 'H Disston & Sons, Philada'.
The blade has a good clear etching for an early version of this saw - this etching is different to later versions.
These saws are getting increasingly hard to find, especially in this condition.
For general info about this tool, please see the Disston fingerhole saw D8 review on FindMyTool.co.uk
TPI: 4 1/2 - 6
Blade length: 28"
Condition: blade has a very, very slight curve through the length of the blade, all teeth present, would benefit from a sharpen, the top handle spur has been rounded off along time ago in its history, please see photos for condition.
