If you look at what's for sale new or used some of the prices are
ridiculous

i guess enough people think that a wood handle and saw blade should
fetch lots of money

And "vintage" saws on ebay and bonanza must be inflated due to some
collector frenzy

I thought i'd find a used saw for cheap but now I am gonna get a
new 1 or 2

And vintage seems to be anything that just looks old. Dirt and rust
and abuse seems to make it vintage


All in the eyes of the beholder. There are tools that you can buy and
use to purposely damage your fresh built piece of furniture. I think
the technique is called distressing. Some people will pay more for
experienced tools. ;~)
