Description: This Beautiful Antique 14" Dovetail Rip AND Cross Cut Saw with adjustable depth stop is a No. 10 by Geo H. Bishop & Co.of Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

There is a very small chip on the handle by the depth stop (see attached photo). Please review photos for condition This STUNNER would be a treasure to use in any woodworker's shop or to display in any antique tool collector's shelf. I found some additional info here: https://geobishopsaws.blogspot.com/2017/01/no10-patent-back-saw.html Made in 8 to 24 inches, this patent back saw predates Henry Disston’s offering and came with a polished apple handle and nickel trimming. Like the No.9 Handy Saw, the No.10 was more of a marketing gimmick than a really good saw. It is still highly collectible and they do appear on eBay from time to time.“Back, dovetailing, rip, crosscut and depth cutting saw. The back of this saw constitutes a slot, through which the blade slides, enabling the workman to move, space and adjust it to any desired width or distance from edge to back. This permits him to cut with precision and exactness any desired depth, thus saving additional labor and time otherwise necessary to measure and mark each separate piece of material"
