That hammer head is a Hart tools 25oz and is an earlier one if I'm not mistaken.Pics were promised and pics shall be given. Also, more things my brother brought home and gave to me followed me to my shop. The Homelite Super 77 is still my brothers though. And yes, that's a 4.5 foot bar on it. The perfect handle drawknife is missing a handle and in vinegar so not much of a pic.
A head just like this was my first hammer given to me by my dad when I was 12 , and it had taken me quite a long time to identify it with my basic google skills.

If I recall I was googling illuminati hammer or triangle 3 dots hammer or " the framer " or some other random stuff here and there for about a year until I stumbled across something.
I don't know why they're not marked Hart tools, I'd love some info as to if these are earlier or not if anyone has it.
I'm sure you wouldn't mind knowing either.

The bar seemed a but bigger on eBay, I tried to find some lighter blue but all I have was Ford blue. Still needs a chain and a new spark Plug wire because I screwed it up but these old 77cc engines running without mufflers sure do make ya go deaf, plus it isn't anti-vibe so that otta suck

no problem, just wish bigger bows were a bit cheaper, that little guy cost me 75 dollars, must admit it wasnt the best decision to buy that specific bar

sorry for so many pics, the first is a J. Taylor and sons joinery saw, had to disassemble it for a few things. hey steve, can you try to find some info on this little guy? i tried bu all the links were dead. That little guy came with the Maple Miter box, which i am excited about, the next saw is just marked Sheffield, no brand, but it's in phenomenal shape.
the last saw, i believe it speaks for itself, i think it is a ship pattern no.371 because on the panel saw version the handle is just as close to the teeth. let me know what you guys think about that.

Wow that is a beautiful saw. I am super jealous haha. I had one similar and traded it off. Those jointer/dovetail saws are getting harder and harder to find. Great find!!

'Taylor Brothers were listed in
Sheffield directories as saw makers, in the Adelaide Works, from as
early as 1849 through at least 1900 (the last year Ken Roberts
researched). One of a handful of Sheffield saw makers whose 19th
century tenure was more than fifty years.
In addition to the Taylor Brothers mark, they also used "J. Taylor
and Son, Joseph Taylor, J.&I. Taylor, Adelaide Saw Works, Melvin,
Adelaide, Advance, and Smithson," on their tools, according to an
1879 advertisement.'
from http://www.swingley.org/ot/get/121075/thread/
J. Taylor and Son is listed as one of their brands, in the advertisement below:
