STAR HACK SAW. No. 2.
STAR HACK SAW. No. 2.
This Saw is much harder than a file, and will cut iron almost as fast as it will wood. One saw blade will cut off a bar of half‐inch round iron one hundred times. The blade is eight inches long, and will do most of the sawing required about a house, shop, or farm. The Patent Frame is made of steel, polished and nickel plated. It will face the saw in four directions, as desired. Frame and twelve Saw Blades sent by mail, postage prepaid, on receipt of $1.50. Hardware dealers will furnish them at the same price. All genuine goods are marked with a star and bear our name. We also have full control of the Star Bracket Saws, and warrant them to be better than any imported blades.
