Fellow BAG Michael Suwczinzky and I hit the local flea last Sunday morning,
and I grabbed a rather glitzy sawset. Fully nickel-plated, it says TAINTOR'S
POSITIVE No 7 in big fancy letters on the handle, and it has (count 'em)
five patent dates on it, ranging from 1891 to 1907. (Yes, I'll be spending
some time with the DATAMP.) A knurled setscrew locks a ten-sided anvil in
position for setting. I've never set a saw in my life, so I'm hoping I've
got a decent user here. Anyone?

who was kicking himself for passing on that #5C (corrugated jack, Jeff), but
felt better when he got home, wiped off the nice (no handle) 1/8-inch sash
mortise chisel he got for a buck, and saw the TH WITHERBY stamp
