Millers Falls Langdon Miter Box

The Langdon miter boxes manufactured by the Northampton Pegging Machine Company were sold with either “ordinary” or “first quality” saws.(7) Most surviving Northampton saws were manufactured by Henry Disston & Sons and bear the stamp “Langdon Mitre Box, Northampton Mass.” on the spine. The Disston saws were almost certainly the firm’s “first quality” saws. Manufactured with split-type saw nuts, they were etched with the Disston logo and, at times, featured a Disston medallion set into the handle.
