Description

Hand saw, thought to be a pruning saw, and sheath. a) Saw has wooden closed handle shaped like a stylized fox head, attached to blade with three large double-cap rivets. Double-sided, sharply-tapered metal saw blade has standard [?] saw teeth on one edge and “M” teeth on the other. In a raking light, the trademark on the blade is visible on one side, and reads: "SLACK SELLARS & Co./[company logo of a bird [swallow?]/SPEED/SHEFFIELD//WARRANTED CAST STEEL' b) Handmade wooden sheath, with “V”-mouth, created from two pieces of planed thin wood joined at top, middle and bottom of each side with a rivet-and-bushing. A khaki cotton, metal-tipped webbing strap and accompanying buckle strap [such as might be found on a military knapsack] have been attached to sheath, to facilitate carrying.
