Vintage Henry Disston and Sons Hand Meat Saw 21 inch Blade / Cast Steel Saw Frame / Bone Saw / Hack Saw / Disston Saw / F919

Antique Henry Disston & Sons Cast Steel 21 inch blade hand meat / bone saw. The blade has 10 teeth per inch. Stamped into the cast steel in the center is: Cast Steel Philadelphia Warranted with the semi circular Henry Disston Sons centered over it as well as a # 7. There are no medallions on the screws to assist with determining age; the screws are domed cap style.

Still functional, the blade impression information is still visible. This would look nice displayed in the work shop or tavern. Henry Disston started selling his own saws in 1840, operating out of a rented basement in Philadelphia. Despite setbacks during his first decade in business, such as fires and the confiscation of his machinery in a rent dispute, Disston built his company into the largest manufacturer of saws in the world. Disston was an innovative manufacturer and marketer, leading the way with products other companies tried to imitate. The saws' consistently high quality kept the company strong for another three generations after Henry Disston's death.
