Description

Marked “Harvey W. Peace /Brooklyn, NY/ Spring Steel Warranted”.   No damaged teeth.  About 2″ left under the handle.  No noticeable pitting or other damage.  Blade is dead straight, but the sharpening could use a touchup.

The real standout, though, is the handle.  Not content with what must have been a carved applewood handle, the owner used the handle to make a negative mold and cast a new handle out of steel.  Certainly durable, and I half-suspect that the purpose may have been to make the saw balance better when cutting joinery.  What’s odd is that the owner must have replaced it *before* he broke the original.

One thing for sure — you’ll never see another one like it.
