Z. N. Seeley Bronze Saw Tool

N. Seeley Saw Tool

An early, raker gauge, patented in Mar. 17, 1908, in Centralia, Wash.,the heart of Pacific Northwest logging.
The first-time features include bronze construction, a celluloid gage plate, to check the height of the raker teeth, a screw-adjustable filing plate, and glass embedded in the horizontal surfaces, so the saw teeth are not damaged while checking them.
This is a rare saw tool, and an interesting bit of history in the development of logging in the Pacific Northwest. As far as I know, this was the first tooth depth gauge, and the first use of a glass surface, which was later used by Morin. Includes a copy of the patent papers, G++ ........... $165.00
