Lovely small early dovetail saw with a beautiful handle. I couldn't quite catch the etch in the photo but it is clear and readable. Blade is straight and clean with no damage or pitting. Chip off the tote as can be seen and another tiny one on the underside. A great saw for work or collectible.
Back reads, "J. FLINT ST. CATHARINES" and "CAST STEEL WARRANTED" while the etch on the blade is as follows:
R. H. SMITH SUCCESOR OF J. FLINT
SUPERIOR
9
SPRING STEEL ST. CATHARINES WARRANTED
ONT
