how much for all?

I don’t know how valuable that saw is as a collectible. It might be worth that as an antique. But as a user I think that price is way out of line. Not to mention the fact that you’ll have to clean it up and sharpen the thing. Personally, I hate sharpening saws. I mostly use a Sharksaw and replace it when it gets dull.

Yeah I was going to offer him like $20 at the most for the saw depending what condition the blade was in, the other stuff didn’t really interest me at all. I don’t mind doing a restore and sharpening the thing because I wasn’t going to restore it as a user. My concern is that the guy is located like an hour and a half away from me, I am going to be like a half hour from him this weekend but that’s an hour out of my way round trip, so may not be worth it at all if its just junk. And $100 bucks for all of those is way high I agree.

I believe that I would pass it by. Your time, gas and mileage is worth something. Of course if restoring old tools gives you pleasure then it might be different.

I bought the same saw with a steel back for $10 at an antique shop last year,and it cleaned up beautifully. That being said, I would pass on it for $100 and get a 14 tpi Veritas and a nice steak dinner.

I wonder what that box is behind the egg-beater drill?
