Description

View 26" Disston No 12 London Spring 8 pt cross-cut wood handsaw Wenzloff sharpened with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. These saws have been in his collection for quite a few years. This saw was sharpened by Wenzloff. Condition of the handle is good other than a bit of the lower horn is missing. You are bidding on one Disston handsaw as pictured. The etching is faint, but in person you can make out enough to tell that it is a Disston Number 12 London Spring saw. The brass medallion on the handle is marked "H DISSTON & SONS PHILADA".  Both the blade and the handle have been marked with owner initials "J G". Overall length of the blade measured along the lower edge is about 26".  Height of the blade, measured perpendicular from the teeth straight up to the leading edge of the wood handle is about 6-5/16". It is sharpened cross-cut with about 7 teeth per inch or 8 points per inch.  It features the nib out near the end of the blade. This is one of a number of saws consigned to me by a friend who used to live in the Portland, Oregon, area. These saws have been in his collection for quite a few years. A mutual friend to both of us used to work for Mike Wenzloff & Sons, long before Mike ceased business (and sadly passed away), and arranged for a number of the saws in my friend's collection to be sharpened by Wenzloff. This saw was sharpened by Wenzloff. I don't have any written documentation, because nobody back then thought to keep the receipts, but I am 110% confident in saying that as I know both men, and I was around both of them back when these saws were being sharpened.  Condition of the blade is good, with some faint pitting and lots of fine scratches from a prior cleaning. There are a few small spots of rust or pitting, more on the back than on the front. It is reasonably straight if you sight down the teeth.  Condition of the handle is good other than a bit of the lower horn is missing. There are a variety of small scratches and chips in the wood.  SHIPPING: 4 pounds when boxed, shipped US Postal Service Ground Advantage, insurance and tracking are included. No International shipping. l sell what I enjoy, and I collect antique woodworking tools and I enjoy photography! The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be finding me faster than I can list them. So please keep watching as I have LOTS more to list! 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 auctions with pictures only of the left side because 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. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. 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.  SHIPPING: I use the US Post Office for everything. If the value is $250 or over, I will always require a delivery confirmation signature, which eBay requires for the buyer and seller protections to be in effect. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I no longer ship Internationally other than Canada. If you are in Canada, ask for what the shipping would cost, but be prepared for it to be $$$$$.  NEWSLETTER: Every Friday eBay sends out an email with my newsletter featuring 10 of my most interesting new listings. To subscribe, click on the heart symbol that is labeled SAVE SELLER, and that will automatically get you on the mailing list for the newsletters. They are free, and you can unsubscribe at any time. SELLING OUTSIDE OF EBAY: Why would I risk my lengthy good standing with eBay to save you a couple of dollars? Especially when you ask on an email that is sent through the eBay email system which they are reading? Please don't ask, the answer is no. AUCTIONS: I won’t end an auction listing early to sell it to you directly. As a bidder, I really dislike going back at the end of an auction to bid, only to discover that the seller had ended the auction early. So I won’t do that for you, or to you. PACKAGING: Please check my feedback -- I package well. I understand how disappointing it is to receive a purchase where the seller clearly didn't care about how it was packaged. I always use a new cardboard box or new envelope, I use bubble wrap for cushioning, I work to make sure nothing escapes out of the package, and I no longer use any Styrofoam peanuts.  OFFERS: I will always consider an offer, some longer than others. Your best chance of success happens if the item has been listed for a while, your offer is reasonable (to me!), and you are a regular customer.  I am a long-time active member of the PNTC or Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors, and a long distance member of the MWTCA or Mid-West Tool Collectors Association. And once in a while I might turn up at a PAST meeting! I hope someday I will meet some of you as we trudge the happy road of tool collecting! Condition: Used.
