About Richardson back saws

Richardson was an American saw maker active in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with work often marked for hardware sellers such as Chandler & Barber of Boston. The recorded sales are dominated by back saws, and the range extends to panel and rip hand saws in the 22 to 28 inch lengths. Numbered lines such as the No. 5, No. 7 and No. 18, spring steel etch plates, a clear medallion, and an intact nib all support value. Pitting, shortened or kinked plates, cracked handles and missing etches pull an example down, while a sharpened, ready-to-use saw or unused old stock stands above average.

The 38 sales behind these figures come from Jim Bode Value Guide (32), Jim Bode Tools (5) and Ted Dawson Antique Tools (1), and run from 2021 to 2026; 6 closed in the last twelve months.
