My "new" saw is a Disston D-23

[BrianBDH]

I stopped at flea market/antique/junk place over Thanksgiving holidays. Picked up this saw for $10 thinking it was old enough to have some good steel in it. Also picked up this tooth setting tool.

Sharpened the saw, put just a little set to the teeth and it cuts really well. Then I decided to find out what I could about the saw so I cleaned up the blade and found the etch. Used Brasso on the medallion.

Its a Disston D-23 with 8 ppi. Best I can tell from the Disston Institute website, it is 1940-47 vintage.

Pretty good find. I will use it and pass it on some day.

I think you got ripped off!. For one, youre gonna have to put the cord back on it, and two, those nail clippers have seen better days… Thats why I dont do flea markets!… Nice find though!
