[BCMA] Donation to pass along

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

A donor has offered Burnaby Village Museum a mitre saw. This is a handsaw with a back frame (metal along the back) which is held in a frame that is adjustable through 180 degrees.

I do not have many details - just a poor image - but it looks like a Stanley Mitre used by jointers and picture framers.

The provenance is Saskatchewan, the donors grandfather was a fine carpenter and this mitre belonged to him.

There appears to be a light rust on the mitre frame otherwise it is in reasonable shape.

If any one is interested or wants more details contact me at the telephone or email below.
