Description: John Sanderson Sheffield Brass Backed Back Saw. Measuring 18" overall, the blade is 13 3/4" long, 2 3/8" high at the toe (from the edge to the start of the back), 2 9/16" high right in front of the tote, this is sharpened to 12 PT (11 TPI), and this weighs 1 lb 5 1/2 oz unboxed. John Sanderson was a Sheffield England maker of saws who worked from 1821 until 1852. This is in decent condition. it looks like the blade was cleaned at some point, but not by me. The blade has some spots of pitting, most of which are light, a few a bit deeper. The edge has a very slight wave, but all the teeth are present. This will need a sharpening. The tote is beech. That has some stains, dings, and wear. There is some chipping on the end of the lower horn and a few smaller ones on the top horn. This is missing the one saw nut and the screw post is gone as well. This is what it is, but seeing as how it's over 170 years old, well it ain't all that bad. Just saying. A collectible early saw for sure!
