Lovely example of an antique saw set tool with turned wood handle and solid brass collar. 

Stamped J V HILL (?) and STEEL on the blade and J. WALLIS in two places on the handle (possibly the owner's name).  There are also two small indistinct stamped marks on either side of the collar. 

It is in good antique condition with an authentic patina of age and use.  Lightly cleaned. The steel has natural discolouration and pitting as expected.  The handle has general scuffs, scratches and signs of handling, as well as couple of minor splits in the wood grain (one is visible under magnification).  The handle is firmly attached with no movement.  Please look at the photographs. 

Overall length:          8 in (20.2 cm)

Weight:                      100 g
