Saw-07 - Richardson Bros No.7 Panel Saw - Newark, New Jersey
Patented Dec. 31, 1867.  20 inch blade, 10 points, filed crosscut.  Split nuts. Condition of blade: straight, smooth and sharp; minor pitting on both sides. Has nib. No missing teeth.
Each saw that I've listed here has been conservatively cleaned with a dull chisel, followed by fine steel wool to remove the red rust and accumulated dirt.  Some of the saws have been straightened with a saw doctor's hammer and anvil.  All should cut freely without binding or undue friction.
