Habbeck?? handsaws

Luke Herzberg

>Anybody know of a handsaw manufacturer by the name of H. Habbeck or H. Harbeck (can't read the etch very well). Old yard sale find, with nib, no handle. Trying to find out something of it's origins.

Thanks,

Luke

>most likely a hardware store brand made by one of the big saw makers. A picture of the handle will probably give us a better idea but even then it is iffy

>There's also Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett, as well as Hubbard Hardware. A picture of the etch might help but etches are pretty hard to photograph.
