Re: Rust hunting.. without the rust - GNP - 08-04-2015 I would return that, the paper cover is torn. Re: Rust hunting.. without the rust - Admiral - 08-04-2015 I just love the slow reveal of the paper covering, real tool porn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bLX06yR3wY Re: Rust hunting.. without the rust - Mike Brady - 08-04-2015 Ok, enough drama. I did find this saw this weekend, but not in the wild. Actually there was a 26" full saw that matched it, also in the box, which a friend of mine bought. Here's the story: Carl Bilderback ("I like shiny"), a well-know saw collector, is selling off most of his thirty-year horde of some of the best and rarest saws, and other tools, as well. I had been to his home in Indiana earlier this year, and then he appeared at a MWTCA meeting in Campton Hills, IL this past weekend. Carl is ill, and I believe it is important to him that his tools reside with people who will respect them the way he has during his years of collecting. It also meant a lot to me to own something of Carl's. I asked him if he found most of his tools "in the wild", or did he buy/trade them with other collectors. He answered that many were obtained through his relationships with other collectors in MWTCA. I used to haunt the flea markets and antiques stores looking for old tools. Now I just spend part of one day, once a year, going to a tool meet. The selection of quality old tools is just unmatched at these events, and the prices are always reasonable.
