I had an hour to fill this morning and spent it changing a (literal) block of rust, into a Ward & Payne hacksaw. A really lovely old saw, nice deep, original blade and such graceful curves to the body. So nice to see the blade held in under tension with just a couple of nails. Lovely! (A bit more research on the web has this saw marked down as a ‘Ward & Payne B-3 Shop Pattern Metal Saw Sheffield’). Now on eBay.

Superb saw, I’m surprised you didn’t keep it!
not something that comes up frequently very nice, a great display item.
Right, well if you two think it’s decent, I think I’m onto a good thing. Fingers crossed!
A little digging it seems this may well be known as the Lancashire Pattern???
dont know what your reseve is but a nice peace so dont let go lightly better to be on the workshop wall than go for nothing is my moto.
best of luck
It’s got a reserve price on it, so it’s all or nothing. If it doesn’t go, it’ll have to go back under the bed, I’m sad to say I don’t have any space for a workshop yet!
