Description

Lovely little C Nurse and Co brass backed 10″ dovetail saw as a restoration project.  Charles Nurse and Co shut up shop in 1931 so we anticipate this as early 1900s.  The brass back gives this a lovely weight (approx 500g).

There is a pretty heavy split in the wooden handle.  This has previously been repaired with a screw through the two halves of wood (driven from the top of the handle).  The handle rocks on the brass screws.  Measured at the furthest tip of the saw handle from the screws it’s about 5mm of movement.

The plate is not perfectly straight, but it doesn’t have any serious bends so will be easily straightened.  The teeth are all intact, albeit not at all sharp.  Looks to be about 15tpi.  The rust will mostly be surface rust from the looks of it.  No evidence of any plate marking visible, but we haven’t removed any surface rust either.

Not a difficult restoration for someone with time and basic skills – unfortunately we don’t have the time at the moment.  The brass alone is probably worth the asking price.
