I'm back listing tools on eBay after taking a break to complete a remodeling project! The queue is overflowing, so please keep watching my listings.You are bidding on two Disston saws as pictured.The back saw is marked "CAST STEEL HENRY DISSTON & SONS PHILAD'A USA WARRANTED" on the back, and the large nut is marked "DISSTON PHILADA". Blade length is 10". The little teeth are tough to count, but it appears to be 15 point. Condition is good with lots of patina (color)but no pitting, and some wear to the handle from use.The other saw is a mixture. The blade is about 16" long, a little too wide to be a compass saw, and I can't find any markings on it. The handle has a Disston nut, and is essentially identical to the back saw handle above. Condition is similar, with less patina and no pitting on the blade, and some wear to the handle from use. T is a chip out of the top w the back would fit. I am not a saw collector, and will confess to some ignorance about these things, so if I have left out something important, please ask. Please see my other current as well as upcoming auctions, as I am or will be listing many more collectible planes and tools. I typically list in batches of similar tools, and sitting right now in the queue are metal planes, many American and British molders, chisels and gouges, bevels and squares, books about tools, and a variety of other tools. And if you, like me, are tired of the disappointments as a shopper -- misleading descriptions and poor photographs, "fine" tools that turned out to be repainted when you got them, non original parts that weren't mentioned, and poor packaging, -- then I encourage you to follow my auctions. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on eBay, and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and pictures only of the left side when the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you bid, and especially before you receive it in the mail. If I have added or repalced a part, I will tell you. If I think the wedge on a molding plane is not original, I will tell you. If I think a japanned plane has been repainted, I will tell you. What goes around, comes around. RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest descriptions, and include enough pictures, you shouldn't need a return policy. However, that doesn't mean that I won't make an occasional mistake. Please bid with the assurance that if I have made an error in my listing, I WILL take care of you. WASHINGTON STATE BIDDERS: I hate to do this, but if I ship to a Washington address, I either have to charge sales tax at the rate of 9.0%, or receive a valid resale form.PRIORITY MAIL FLAT RATE BOXES FOR HEAVY ITEMS: The Post Office has two sizes of the regular Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes (11-7/8 x 3-3/8 x 13-5/8 inches and 11 x 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches), plus a larger and more expensive Flat Rate Box, for which the postage stays the same regardless of weight. I try to use these if at all possible.WINNING MULTIPLE AUCTIONS: I will always combine multiple purchases to save on shipping, and use the Flat Rate boxes whenever they make sense.OVERSEAS BIDDERS:The US Post Office just raised rates, especially international rates. Shipping will be at my cost for postage plus $2 for packaging materials. The postage cost for Priority Mail to either Australia or the UK ranges from about $22 for 1 pound to $37.00 for a Flat Rate box, and gets much more expensive if it is heavy and won't fit in the Flat Rate box. That includes insurance up to about $60 coverage, and insurance runs a few dollars for more coverage. T is also the option of either Priority Flat Rate envelope or First Class Mail for small items under 4 pounds, which is less expensive, but t is no provision for insurance with ei... read more
