Another Unknown Sheffield Saw Company...

[bentontool]

Greetings Brothers,
Has anyone come across a saw similar to this, or by the same company?
I cannot find it in my references.
"The Daedalus Saw" "Made for Charles Mann & Co. "Harringay" "Sheffield Made".
It appears to be an inexpensive saw. Perhaps a child's toy saw? It is approximately 18 inches long.
Best wishes to all, Alex.

P.S. As an aside,
I fear for my Republic, and for the world in general. First, the Citizens of the UK are threatened with imprisonment if they speak words that are not in accordance with the current government propaganda line...
Now, we in the USA are having our First Amendment Right to Free Speech eroded every day by an out-of-control Federal Government that daily commits atrocities, and are never held to account.
I fear we are close to civil war... or life (as it would be) under a totalitarian regime...

"Daedalus & Co was 2nd quality (one of many such "brands") saw made by Joseth Tyzack & Son Ltd Sheffield, sometime between 1876 and 1924, probably early 20th century."

Charles Mann & Co would be a retail shop in Harringay.

Daedalus sounds an interesting chap!

Yes indeed. The saw is clearly second quality.
Thank you, Jacob. Your research capabilities are very impressive!

I have a vintage 14" undecipherable-brand saw that I acquired from Tooltique that looks exactly like yours. It came sharpened for rip cut with 8tpi and I love it for my small projects.




The only partially-visible branding is this:

Yes, very similar! I would also like to put mine back into service, but it has a nasty kink in the plate. I need to do some research on how to remove kinks!

I just googled "daedalus & co saws" or similar. Just takes a couple of stabs! I quoted somebody else who might have been wrong anyway, but it sounded credible.
Lots of different brands would be using blades from the same makers, also brand names get taken up and used by other firms, so it can be confusing.
