Ray, let me know if you find any info on it.
Thanks, Bob

This on the base of the Falk.
This seem to be the catalog item No. 259/14 and it did cost 4.00 Reichsmark...!
Thanks!

Hi Ray,
It's 18cm high. And no I don't have a catalog number but there is a pencil number on the bottom. I'll take a pic and post it, maybe it's a model number ?
My guess is it's 1920 or earlier, mostly because of the wood base.The color would be a good clue also to compare to engines or ?
I think it was one of the first German pieces I bought and it came from the UK. I like it a lot because of the wood base and the J.F. badge and it's quality. I've never seen another one, but I don't look much.
Bob.

Joseph Falk fret saw, date ?
I posted using my iPhone as I'm having trouble posting pic's using my Mac Pc.
WOW !!! Never seen before !!! :o
I ever knew there was a reason to live longer... I will probably need the rest of my life to find one... ;D
This one should have been manufactured abt. the late 1920s to 1935, short time before FALK was taken over by PLANK...
Now I have a half billion of questions...
How tall is it...?
Do you know the catalog No. or do you have a catalog page or pic that shows it...?
Will you ever think about to sell it...?
Thanks - Ray

Thanks for the great photos.
Finding pieces and then receiving them in good order can be challenging but all part of collecting.
-
Great stuff. I can only congratulate on the find. Fortunately, the saw has yet found its way to you. What is happening lately sometimes during the delivery, is not to understand.

Probably my oldest and rarest MÄRKLIN workshop model, a 28cm tall scroll saw No.4256 / 2 made of cast iron in 1904, came to me yesterday on a tortous DHL path...
Instead of being delivered, it was disposed without any notice into a parcel station 3mls away under one wrong recipient's name ...
Thanksgod he called me up ... there are actually still a few honest people alive!

The quite weathered and tinkered attic find is now standing free of rust, completed and revised between his colleagues.

I don't even know if I'll paint over the shiny iron cast patina one time ...
First of all, I'm happy about this mega-rare find ...!
