This C T Skelton And Co hand saw version is a small old English saw fitted with an elegant decorative shaped Beech handle.

The handle is secured to the blade with the use of three brass split-nut buttons which sit perfectly flush with the handle surface. One of the buttons is faced with a medallion bearing the makers mark 'trade mark, goats head' and a picture of a goats head. This saw was also made with four split-nuts on larger versions.

The split-nut buttons are secured or adjusted by using a special split-nut screwdriver which is used on the rear side of the handle.

This particular saw was a small 18 inch hand saw with 8 tpi (teeth per inch).

This Skelton saw was made in a number of different lengths: 18", 20", 22", 24", 26" and 28". It was also made with different tpi (teeth per inch) along with different teeth type including 'Fleam' teeth and 'Lightning' teeth.
