Today's Featured Tool Description
Johnson, William/Philadelphia, Pa No. 23: Early Philada. Maker Saw. Master To H. Disston. Worked 1833 To 1840. Length: 32.00 Inches. An EARLY AND IMPORTANT PHILADELPHIA MAKER HAND SAW, No. 23, by William Johnson, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This 28" blade saw is imprinted with the name of Johnson, faintly, but legibly. It has been known for some time that the young Henry Disston served as an apprentice to William Johnson, but some doubted the truth of this as there were no saws known by Johnson. This saw, which is believed to be the earliest known hand saw having iron domed nuts, is also, by virtue of its "No. 23" designation, the first hand saw known to have been produced by a maker who used a numbering system. In 1840, William Johnson sold his saw making business to the young Henry Disston, who may, in his capacity as an apprentice to Johnson, have actually made this saw. The original documentation and research materials are included with this saw as well as a copy of the article from the Mid-West Tool Collectors Association publication, "The Gristmill", entitled "A Missing Link in the Disston History", published in the September, 2011 Issue. An important, if not the most important American made hand saw. Highly Recommended. (GOOD+). This item was sold on January 7, 2026 for $1,700.00. jpg_file
