Now THATS a Saw !
Todd Hughes
>Well I normaly don't buy painted saws but when I saw this one I just had to have it. No the Miss Jazz isn't a stunted munchkin this saw is really over 4 ft. long ! Not just some cobbed together fake saw either but rather it is a real Disston with an enlarged No.12 type handle and steel blade with a nib everything in perfect proportions. I have seen 2 others of these and apparently they were a promotional or hardware store advertising item. This example unfortunatly has been painted over to advertise a sharpening service. When I first got it I thought about stripping the paint off but I like folk art stuff and it has sort of grown on me and I think I will hang it over my front door and leave it be.
....Is funny but I always wanted one of these saws, just thought it would be neat to put on the wall, but never really believed I would find one. The two I had seen one was in a museum and the other at a big tool show priced higher then a nice no.1 Stanley. So when my gal Jazz showed me about this one at the auction I was pretty excited. Ended up getting it for $70 which is probably the most I ever spent for a saw. But then if you look at it as by the pound probably not to bad....Yeah, I know I'm lucky ! .....Todd
