Multi-Estate Spring 2026 Auction
Lot 284:
Description
C-19319
Hand-built wooden scroll or jig saw of distinctly rural construction, featuring a long reciprocating arm, pivoting upper tension bar, and large cast iron drive wheel mounted within a simple plank frame. The mechanics are straightforward and honest—form followed function—with a hand-cranked flywheel transferring motion through a wooden linkage system to power the vertical blade stroke. The deep red painted base contrasts with the warm, time-darkened wood frame, while visible square-head fasteners and iron hardware underscore its early, utilitarian origins. Likely bench-mounted for small shop use.
Shows expected age and use including surface wear, oxidation to the cast iron wheel, minor edge wear to the base, and general patina throughout the wooden components. No testing performed; sold as a static display or restoration candidate.
6" W x 17" L x 13.5" H
