    Just picked up this bad boy for 20 bucks
    Any idea on where to find ID marks?
    I know it came from the Benton PA area 305EA643-26C4-4404-AF6B-CC746F87C889.jpeg

    That does look like a nice one.

    Do you plan on getting it tuned up for (occasional) use it or will you make a wall ornament out of it? Or both?

    I got my 48” saw sharpened last fall. They are fun to make a few cuts with.

    I sent mine to Dolly Chapman—>. Chapman's Sharp Crosscut Saws. She did an excellent job. I would highly recommend her.

    That saw has spent a lot of time in the filing jig.
    Usually the teeth are well under ( protrude deeper than ) the ends of the saw.
    My guess is that saw has cut A LOT of wood !
    It may be quite old.
