Hand-Saw Makers of North America, by Erwin L. Schaffer. 151 Pages. Softbound. For those seriously interested in antique hand tools, Erv Schaffer's photocopied list of American hand-saw makers has been an essential reference since the first limited listing was compiled many years ago. Now, for the first time, the Schaffer list of makers, working dates, types of saws produced and working locations has been compiled into a single, bound volume. Also included are expanded histories of many saw makers, lists of the products produced by major makers Disston, Atkins, Simonds and Bishop, examples of period advertising and much more. Listings of saw makers by state and articles about saws from Nineteenth Century publications round out this new and essential reference book. $21.95 (BK-0522)
