1850\'s BLAKEWELL & CO. 5tpi RIP SAWMIDDLETOWN N.Y.
THIS IS A SERIOUS TOOL: WITH A 27\" BLADE, WEIGHING 1ib-12oz... ONE CAN EASILY SEE THAT THIS WAS MADE TORIP IT\'S WAY THROUGH ALMOST ANYTHING THROWN AT IT.
THE BLADE IS STRAIGHT AND SHARP, WITH SOME STAINING BUT THERE IS NO RUST OR CORROSION AND I WOULD EASILY BET THAT THIS WAS MADE WITH BRITISH STEEL AT A TIME WHEN MOST SAW MAKERS WERE USING STEEL FROM SHEFFIELD.
A HIGH QUALITY AMERICAN MADE SAW AT A TIME WHEN THE QUALITY OF YOUR TOOL REALLY MATTERED AND AN EXTRAORDINARY PIECE OF HISTORY WTH A TRADEMARK THAT WAS STAMPED RATHER THAN ETCHED.... THE ONLY ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH A STAMP LIKE THIS.
