I don't know if they had carbide-tipped blades 50 years ago. If they did, send them to Forrest for sharpening. They'll repair any damaged teeth and they'll cut like new.

Having 20-30 of them to resharpen and flatten, that would probably be much more expensive than simply buying a single WWII to replace all of them.

Well, if you use the saw, they'll still fit... :)

What are you going to use instead?

Older ones were more likely plain carbon, which is excellent knifemaking stock. 1/8" sawplates are perfect for making into wooden plane irons, shop knives, etc.

You could get some clock works for them and make saw blade clocks for whomever as gifts.

Many thanks for all the suggestions and replies. I'm liking the idea of using some for knife stock. Hadn't thought about making a plane iron, which is interesting. The clock idea has some merit. I'm not much of an artist, so painting scenes on them probably isn't my best option. I think I'm gonna try and make a knife and see how that goes. I'll keep everyone updated. Again, thanks for all the replies.

Sell 'em on eBay and make your fortune, duuuuude! Naive yuppies abound there and are willing to pay good money for something they can use to make a clock or wall painting.
