In 1879 this company sold a human-powered riding dragsaw.

Information Sources

  • We learned of this company from an 1879 ad shown in an article on drag saws on AmericanArtifacts.com. The article is by Richard Van Vleck. The ad is from the 1879 “American Agriculturist”. The company's address was given as 178 Elm St., Cincinnati.
  • We have found three patents assigned to a W. W. Bostwick, all three of them granted to one Charles M. Trautmann, and one of them is for the riding drag saw seen in the 1879 advertisement.
