Up for auction is this used bow saw made by Harris Tools. Blade length is 24 inches. Overall length is 36 inches. The overall height is 17 3/4 inches. The bow saw has a hardwood frame with beautifully turned handles.  
The wooden frame and handles are in excellent condition, however there is a small dent in the beam (see second to the last photo in this listing). The saw blades are in good condition and have varying amounts of light rust-see photos.

Included with the bow saw are the following eleven (11) saw blades:

1 1/2 inch blade with 5 teeth per inch (TPI) - Qty. 1
1 1/2 inch blade with 8 teeth per inch (TPI) - Qty. 1

3/4 inch blade with 6.5 teeth per inch (TPI) - Qty. 2
3/4 inch blade with 6.5 teeth per inch (TPI) - Qty. 2
3/4 inch blade with 9 teeth per inch (TPI) - Qty. 2

3/8 inch blade with 9 teeth per inch (TPI) - Qty. 1

1/4inch blade with 14 teeth per inch (TPI) - Qty. 2 (for curving cuts)

As a general rule, the more teeth per inch a saw blade has, thesmoother the finish will be, but the slower the saw will cut. The fewer teeth per inch, the faster the saw will cut, butthe finish will be rougher.

Note:  The above TPI numbers for each saw blade are based on my examining the saw blades and counting the teeth.

Note:  In order to reduce shipping costs and prevent damage, I will ship the bow saw disassembled (see photos).  It can easily be re-assembled by the Buyer in less than 5 minutes.  Please see the photos for condition.  Ask me any questions you might have, I will respond quickly.

Additional Information:

This bow saw made by Harris Tools. Blade length is 24 inches. Overall length is 36 inches. The overall height is 17 3/4inches. It's a hardwood frame with beautifully turned handles. Wooden framesaws, also called bow saws, are built with two arms, with a bar or beam with a tenon that fits into a mortise in the center of the arms, forming an "H" shape. The saw blade is attached across the bottom of the "H", and a tensioning system across the top (in this saw, it is a piece of waxed cotton string). The beam mortised into the centers of the two arms provides the fulcrum around which the blade is tensioned. Because the blade is in tension, it can be significantly thinner than an ordinary hand saw blade. Frame saws can be used for almost any job: cross cutting, rip sawing, crosscutting wet wood, cutting curves, and cutting shapes within a board.
