History Of Use
This saw was donated by Mrs. Fred Bayson. For more info on the Bayson family, see historical research file, Bayson Family. This saw was used to clear land, cut ties and harvest winter wood. This is a standard one lance tooth crosscut. The handle is a short guard type and allows the operator to use heavy gloves or winter mittens. The handle, being in direct line of the teeth, insures against waste of power.
