Etna Saw 24 Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Hand Saws
Manufacturer: Etna
Tool Type: Hand Saw
Model No: 24
The Etna saw number 24 is made with a cast iron blade and a Beech hardwood
handle of simple design. The handle has much less intricate design than
many saw handles of the time.
The 24 handle is secured to the blade with the use of three brass
splitnut buttons.
The saw blade etching shows a picture of a mountain which I would guess
represents Mount Etna.
I am not 100 percent 'Etna' is the saw maker, it is possibly a brand.
There are possible links to Spear and Jackson who operated from
the 'Aetna Works' for a long period of time.
The Etna saw shown is 26 inches in length and has 6 1/2 teeth per inch (tpi).
There were different lengthed and tpi versions of this saw produced.
Handle: Beech
Number Of Buttons: 3
Type Of Buttons: Brass, Split-nut
Medallion Markings:
'Warranted Superior'
Blade Markings:
'Warranted Cast Steel Sheffield, Etna, Trade Mark,
No 24 (and possibly a C or an E)' along with a picture of a mountain.'
