neat saw medallion
Dale Stansbery
>I picked this old saw up at a farm auction today. It has quite a medallion, almost a sculpture. The handle is pretty much toast, as it's rough and severely worn away. The nib is OK and surprisingly, the blade doesn't look too pitted. Does anyone know anything about "Taylor Brothers Improved" saws and their fancy medallions? It looks like a likeness of a queen with a crown which leads me to think it's English. The nuts stand above the wood on the opposite side, and look hand made as the slots aren't centered.
