Patent Number	Date	Title	Name	City	Description
9,807	Jun. 21, 1853	Saw	Joseph H. Tuttle	Seneca, NY	Extended 7 years. Reciprocating sawblade that cuts in both directions. Besides the reissue, this design was improved in patent 118,198. The manufacture by Wheeler, Clemson & Madden is inferred from the assignees of the reissue. The manufacture by E. C. Atkins comes from an 1858 Atkins ad that says they are "Manufacturer of J. H. Tuttle's patent cross-cut saw."
14,305	Feb. 26, 1856	Mill-saw	Nathan T. Coffin	Knightstown, IN
65,598	Jun. 11, 1867	Improvement in hardening saws	Edwin S. Piper	Indianapolis, IN
150,431	May. 05, 1874	Improvement in Saw Jointers and Gages	Robert E. Poindexter	Anderson, IN	Poindexter's first saw jointer patent that would span nearly 30 years of improvements. Utilizes a block of wood with a gage plate mounted to it. This patent was subsequently improved in his Patent No. 164,762 which eliminated the wood block and resulted in a cast frame.
156,967	Nov. 17, 1874	Improvement in Saw Gages	Elias C. Atkins	Indianapolis, IN	Designed to allow gaging both the cutting and clearing teeth, and allow the clearing teeth to be filed without removing the gage.
164,762	Jun. 22, 1875	Improvement in Saw Jointers and Gages	Robert E. Poindexter	Anderson, IN	Improvement of Poindexter's Patent No. 150,431 and subsequently improved in his Patent No. 246,414. Frame is cast from one piece of metal with flanges on each side and providing an adjustable gage plate, set screw, and clamping device. Improvement over 150,431 is the elimination of a wooden block and introducing a more substantial holding device for the file, as well as adding a set gage.
171,337	Dec. 21, 1875	Improvement in Crosscut Saw Handles	Elias C. Atkins	Indianapolis, IN	Two handled handle with allows sawing with one or both hands. Known example is marked: E.C.ATKINS and PAT.DEC.21.1875 on the handle frame.
178,985	Jun. 20, 1876	Improvement in Saw Frames	Elias C. Atkins	Indianapolis, IN	Triangular frame tensioner with a screw tenon at each point of the angle.
204,369	May. 28, 1878	Improvement in saws	Robert E. Poindexter	Anderson, IN
246,414	Aug. 30, 1881	Saw Jointer and Gage	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN	Improvement on Poindexter's previous Patents Nos. 150,431 and 164,762 and subsequently improved in his Patent No. 377,328. Cast frame that both holds and curves the file (for breasting) and also allows gaging the teeth.
251,303	Dec. 20, 1881	Saw-gummer	Philander Sisson	Gowanda, NY	Sisson's patent saw gummer is seen on page 85 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog. We know that Romer Bros. Mfg. Co. of Gowanda made it because a subsequent improvement to this patent, 383,191, was assigned to that firm.
257,831	May. 09, 1882	Device for dressing saw-teeth	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN
272,734	Feb. 20, 1883	Gage for rip-saws	Theodore A. McDonald	New Albany, IN	An example of a somewhat similar gage has surfaced, bearing this patent date and the name of E. C. Atkins & Co. An 1894 Atkins catalog shows the "Hamlet Dimension Gauge", which pointed us to another patent that exactly matches the example. See patent 287,124.
287,124	Oct. 23, 1883	Saw-table gage	John H. Hamlet	Indianapolis, IN	This invention was exhibited at the 1883 Indiana State Fair where it received positive reviews. It was manufactured by E. C. Atkins & Co., appearing in their 1894 catalog as the "Hamlet Dimension Gage". An example has surfaced that closely matches this patent. Strangely, though, the example bears a "FEB. 20 1883" patent date, which may correspond to a vaguely similar tablesaw gauge from another Indiana inventor: see patent 272,734.
291,224	Jan. 01, 1884	Saw-set	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN	"My said invention consists in an improvement in saw-sets, whereby there is produced in a single piece a device adapted to be used either as a hammer-set or a hand-set, and also, if desired, as a gage..."
309,875	Dec. 30, 1884	Device for setting and shaping saw-teeth	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN
315,229	Apr. 07, 1885	Saw-guide	George S. Black	Indianapolis, IN	This "Atkins' patent combined circular saw guide and rounder" was featured on page 107 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog.
318,976	Jun. 02, 1885	Saw setting device	Thomas Gibbons	St. Louis, MO
323,628	Aug. 04, 1885	Saw-Tooth Swage	George S. Black	Indianapolis, IN
333,540	Jan. 05, 1886	Saw-tooth-swaging device	Sarah A. Parke	Bay City, MI	This patent was the subject of a lawsuit by E. C. Atkins & Co. against the inventor and Amos S. Parke (see also patent 390,164). Briefly, Amos, as Sarah's attorney, signed a contract with the plaintiff giving them an exclusive license to manufacture and sell this saw swage everywhere in the country except California, Oregon and Washington. However, beginning January 29, 1889, Amos Parkes manufactured and sold swaging machines based on the pateent. The Parkes claimed that the plaintiff had failed to fill orders for saw swaging machines and had therefore voided the contract so the defendants were no longer bound by the terms of the contract. They argued that E. C. Atkins & Co. was also "interested" in the Hinkley swage (see patent 373,740) and was not acting in good faith in dealing with the Parkes. The original ruling was for the Parkes but this was reversed on appeal; see link.
335,984	Feb. 09, 1886	Grinding apparatus	Frederick S. White	Cleveland, OH	This patented machine is seen on page 100 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog, as the "Variety emery grinder... Will take 12x2 inch Wheels, Â¾ inch Mandrel Hole." Price was $50, not including countershaft or emery wheels.
342,172	May. 18, 1886	Saw Swaging Machine	George S. Black	Indianapolis, Marion County, IN	Abstract: The object of my said invention is to produce a machine by which mill-saws of various to kinds may be conveniently swaged. Claim: The combination, in a saw-swaging machine, of the frame, the saw-support, and the dies, said saw-support being divided, and one part being adjustable on the other, whereby the groove which receives the back of the saw play be adjusted to fit the thickness of the saw being operated upon, substantially as set forth. In a saw-swaging machine, the combination of the frame, saw-support, and male and female dies, the female dlie being recessed to receive the saw-teeth, and the male die being in the form of a cam.

346,944	Aug. 10, 1886	Saw set	Robert Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN
353,245	Nov. 23, 1886	Brazing Machine	George S. Black	New Orleans, LA
353,659	Dec. 07, 1886	Device for jointing the teeth of saws	George S. Black	New Orleans, LA
355,205	Dec. 28, 1886	Saw	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN
361,142	Apr. 12, 1887	Adjustable saw-tooth	John C. Dalton	Columbus, OH	This patent insertible-tooth saw is seen in an 1894 catalog from E. C. Atkins & Co.
363,730	May. 24, 1887	Saw-swaging machine	John A. Crossman	Indianapolis, IN
		Saw-swaging machine	Nelson C. Buch	Indianapolis, IN
371,786	Oct. 18, 1887	Saw-mill dog	Warren L. Raynes	Montezuma, IN	This sawmill dog was featured on page 108 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog. "Atkins' patent saw mill dogs. Rapidity and safety in operating, simplicity, strength, durability and economy." It was available in single and duplex models, the difference being that the single had a dog on the top of the log and the duplex had dogs both on top and beneath the log. Price was $30 and $50, respectively.
373,740	Nov. 22, 1887	Saw-swaging machine	George M. Hinkley	Milwaukee, WI	See the description of patent 333,540 for discussion of a lawsuit that peripherally involved this patent.
375,350	Dec. 27, 1887	Saw Screw	Charles Glover	Hartford, CT	The primary focus of this patent is on the two-part construction of the saw medallion ("label screw"). In a sense, it can be seen as an improvement on Munger's patent (U.S.P.N 98180), which had no provision for preventing the shaft from twisting independent of the head if the swaged fit failed. The large show surface of Glover's medallion, in conjunction with the shoulder beneath it, allowed for the addition of longitudinal ribs on the shaft of the screw to resist turning. The medallion (figures 2, 3 & 4) and the saw screw (figure 5) shown in Glover's patent drawings both feature the internally threaded construction patented by Henry Disston in 1876 (U.S.P.N. 181648). This form displaces the through screw and "split nut" arrangement which had been the norm. Glover's saw screw differs from Disston's by being formed in a die rather than being cast and having longitudinal ribs on the shaft rather than a square section to resist turning. Also, though not specified in the patent, the shafts of Glover's saw nuts were of stouter construction. Glover's form eventually superseded Disston's. Saw medallions with this patent date have been found on saws from a wide variety of saw manufacturers.
375,650	Dec. 27, 1887	Device for dressing the teeth of saws	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN
377,328	Jan. 31, 1888	Saw Jointer	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN	Improvement on Poindexter's Patent No. 246,414 and subsequently improved in his Patent No. 577,388
383,191	May. 22, 1888	Saw-gummer	John P. Romer	Gowanda, NY	Sisson's patent saw gummer is seen on page 85 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog. This patent improves on Sisson's patent 251,303 and it seems likely that Romer Bros. manufactured both versions.
		Saw-gummer	Nicholas Romer	Gowanda, NY
385,006	Jun. 26, 1888	Combined Saw Jointer and Gage	William S. Ralya	Indianapolis, IN
384,979	Jun. 26, 1888	Circular saw	Dexter N. Hurd	Kokomo, IN	A method of constructing a sawblade that is thick in the middle, i.e., the part of the blade that never enters the wood, and of thinner and uniform thickness for the rest of the blade. It appears in an 1894 catalog from E. C. Atkins & Co. as the "Kerf King" saw.
390,164	Sep. 25, 1888	Milling-machine	John A. Gregg	Bay City, MI	This milling machine seems to have been the basis for a machine specialized for scarfing bandsaw blades that was sold by E. C. Atkins & Co., and we assume was made by them. See also patent 415,281, granted to Amos S. Parke.
415,281	Nov. 19, 1889	Saw-scarfing machine	Amos S. Parke	Bay City, MI	This machine strongly resembles "The Eureka Scarfer, or lapping machine for band saws" as seen in an 1894 catalog from E. C. Atkins & Co.; that machine is clearly labeled, "EUREKA PAT. SEPT. 25 1888". The most likely candidate patent for that date is patent 390,164, which is for a milling machine and was assigned, in part, to our inventor, Amos S. Parke. In any event, we attribute this patent to Atkins.
422,316	Feb. 25, 1890	Saw Jointer and Gage	Nate H. Roberts	Indianapolis, IN
426,358	Apr. 22, 1890	Brazing-machine	John C. Ballew	Evansville, IN	An example has been seen with "E. C. Atkins & Co." and "Pat. Apr. 20 1889" cast into it. That's not a valid patent date. The device is an exact match to the drawing for this patent.
426,520	Apr. 29, 1890	Saw-mill dog	William H. Bennett	Kokomo, IN	This sawmill dog was featured on page 109 of E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog, as "Atkins' independent under dog. For quarter sawing."
429,144	Jun. 03, 1890	Saw Level	James H. Miner	Baton Rouge, LA	Straight bar gage with indicators to determine "tension" of circular saws.
429,794	Jun. 10, 1890	Corn-splitting machine	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN	Inventor Poindexter had worked for E. C. Atkins & Co. His employment at the time of this patent is unknown.
430,581	Jun. 17, 1890	Wire-tightener	Charles M. Kiler	Indianapolis, IN	Inventor Poindexter had worked for E. C. Atkins & Co. His employment at the time of this patent is unknown.
431,265	Jul. 01, 1890	Wire-stretcher	Charles M. Kiler	Indianapolis, IN	Inventor Poindexter had worked for E. C. Atkins & Co. His employment at the time of this patent is unknown.
432,534	Jul. 22, 1890	Saw	Andrew Krieger	Columbus, OH	E. W. Bradford - patent attorney My invention relates to that class of saws which are provided with insertible teeth and it consists in a certain construction whereby the teeth, which are in the form of segments of circles, can be securely locked in position at any desired point, and are thereby rendered not only adjustable but capable of being as securely held when nearly worn out as when first inserted in the saw, as will be hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.

438,184	Oct. 14, 1890	Device for Jointing and Dressing Saws	Nate H. Roberts	Indianapolis, IN
441,743	Dec. 02, 1890	Saw-mill dog	Nelson C. Buch	Indianapolis, IN	The 1898 catalog from E. C. Atkins & Co. of Indianapolis features "Buch Saw Mill Dogs", available in single (top dog) and duplex (top and bottom dogs), priced at $30 per pair and $50 per pair, respectively. The 1887 patent 363,730, co-granted to Buch, was assigned to E. C. Atkins & Co. and so we assume that Atkins manufactured these dogs as well.
445,198	Jan. 27, 1891	Fence-post base	Robert E. Poindexter	Indianapolis, IN	Inventor Poindexter had worked for E. C. Atkins & Co. His employment at the time of this patent is unknown.

508,118	Nov. 07, 1893	Saw-swage	John F. Pribnow	Indianapolis, IN	The "Pribnow patent swage shaper" is featured in E. C. Atkins & Co.'s 1894 catalog. The February 1922 "Four L Lumber News" has an article on a new version of the Pribnow swage. "The new roller-bearing swage illustrated herewith is the product of the factory of E. C. Atkins & Co., Indianapolis, Ind. It is called the Atkins Pribnow Swage. The Pribnow Swage Shaper patents have always been controlled by the Atkins company, which is now sole manufacturer of it and the Pribnow Swage..."
48,425	Mar. 12, 1895	Improvement in devices for shaping swaged saw teeth	John F. Pribnow	Mellen, WI	This patent is equivalent to US patent 514,963.
539,801	May. 28, 1895	Attachable saw-tooth	James E. Emerson	Beaver Falls, PA	We have seen an 1896 price list from Emerson, Smith & Co., a company that made insertible saw teeth among its products. This patent was granted to the co-founder of that firm yet it is assigned to competitor E. C. Atkins & Co. Was there a takeover, or had Emerson left his own company? We don't know.
