SHARPENED 16 inch TAYLOR BROTHERS Tenon Backsaw 12 Point 1880-1900

Description

TAYLOR BROTHERS
16 inch plate 3-3/4 inch depth of cut
Tenon Backsaw
12 point filed hybrid
1880-1900
Taylor Brothers was one of most prolific saw makers and the same class as spear & Jackson and lots of detailed info can be found on the maker. Like many of the Sheffield makers Taylor Brothers hand more then one location. The inchworm "made for use" stamped in the back puts this saw around 1888.
The 16" brass back has a nice weight and heft to it. Well suited for tenons or carcase work. The saw over all is in great condition with some cosmetic apologies. The handle is very sold with an owners mark stamp, a few scratches and a nice patina. The very tips of both horns had chips and although it wasn't bad I decided to touch them up. It's a nice saw and well worth the extra time. The 12 point hybrid cut was freshly sharpened with sloped gullets to aid in smooth cuts with less feedback. The hybrid filing allows for both cross cuts and rips. It's a popular filling for tenon or general use. The saw has been tested and ready to go out of the box.
Have a look at the photos and details below. Let me know if you have any questions. She's an old gal but but still a nice user with an interesting history.
Now on instagram! @ secondchancesawworks have a look of what's on the bench.
ABOUT THE SAW
HANDLE:
Ornate English beach handle. One look is all you need to know this saw was made in
Sheffield.
T
he handle has a few marks and stains from age but otherwise its as it should be. the very tips of both horns were chipped and I've repaired with epoxy. This was a cosmetic fix. The handle is very sold for it's age. The split nut hardware is in good shape and tight to the plate.
PLATE:
Straight and clean with some stains. The back was knock on for some time. When I adjusted it back you can see a slight line at the plate. its an old plate with marks and stains, nothing deep that would effect cut
. I take great care in my sharpening process and don't simply sharpen and list. After the saw is sharpened I test cut then tune as needed for best use. The 12 point plated was filed hybrid with sloped gullets. Perfect for both cross and rip cuts. The saw makes
clean cut with a nice finish. Easily cleaned if need be.
Please excuse any dust in the pictures the saw will be wiped down before it's mailed. After looking over pics let me know if you have any questions.

NOT SO FINE PRINT
Please carefully review the pictures, I have done my best to describe things as I see them. ALWAYS feel free to email with any questions and I will do my best to answer them.  I make every effort to ship next day after payment M-F.
I now use the ebay calculator that allows local customers a better rate then a single flat rate coast to coast.
I'm happy to combined shipping but please contact me BEFORE payment so I can combine
I accept returns up to 14 days
. I do not charge extra for shipping but do charge .50 to cover the cost of the box. These older saws can damage easily and I find it's better to use a custom box rather then recycle ones.
Please take a second to look at this and other saws I offer. I put a good deal of effort into each saw and I want you, the buyer to be happy. E-mail with any issues and I will do my best to resolve them in a peaceful way.
