E-094. CROSSCUT SAW. Disston No. D-23. Postwar example of the workhorse of the Disston line, very slight wear to handle finish but blade looks like it never touched wood, 26", 10 tpi. Fine 50-100

E-093. LOT OF TWO BAD SAW IDEAS. Disston D-100 and 1874 Compact. In the 1960s Disston equipped D-100 saws with a funky sleek aluminum and wood handle in an apparent attempt to make them look cool, 26" blade, 8 tpi crosscut, blade has some surface rust but etch clear. And Henry Disston himself came up with the 1874 Compact, with a full length 26" blade that extends under the handle to reduce the overall length to fit in a toolbox. Since he was the boss, apparently no one had the nerve to point out that you couldn't make a cut more than 2" deep without the handle hitting the wood. 9 tpi crosscut, tight crack in the handle, etch faded but legible. Good 100-180
