Up for sale is a vintage Millers Falls No. 73 Langdon Acme miter box, complete with its matching period backsaw. This is a beautifully preserved early 1900s woodworking setup featuring:
Included in This Listing
Cast‑iron Millers Falls No. 73 miter box frame
Both original saw guide towers
Angle adjustment arc with clear, readable markings
Dual wooden bed boards on both sides of the cutting slot
24" Henry Disston & Sons backsaw, stamped “PHILA. PA. U.S.A.”
Millers Falls paper label on the saw handle (common for Disston‑made saws sold with these boxes)
Traditional wooden pistol‑grip handle on the saw
Reinforced saw spine for accurate guided cuts
This set has excellent visual appeal and represents the classic craftsmanship of Millers Falls and Disston during the early 20th century. The cast‑iron frame is solid and stable, the guide towers are straight, and the angle arc is intact. The wooden bed boards are present on both sides, giving the tool its authentic period look.
The included backsaw is a Disston‑made blade with a Millers Falls label on the handle — a historically correct pairing, as Millers Falls frequently sold Disston‑manufactured saws with their miter boxes. The saw fits the box properly and completes the set.
Everything shown in the photos is exactly what you will receive.
This setup is ideal for collectors, restorers, traditional woodworkers, or anyone who appreciates early American toolmaking.
