old hand saws

Aug 28, 2011 3 Replies

I started to cleanup some old handsaws that I have. Disston, UNION...


I want to find out more about the UNION saw. UNION 70. I know I had a link to old hand tools somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, and I've been looking up sites and am drawing a blank.


I need a site to help identify the UNION 70 saw. I know that one site helped me identify my old hand planes, and molding planes. Wish I could find it.



Thanks guys.



That's interesting. It gives their address as 402 Cherry Street in

1858. The book "Handsaw Makers of North America" shows a letterhead from 1886 with the address 108 and 110 Erie street. Apparently they needed more space.
