- Thanks to Mary Ann Dotson for bringing this maker to our attention. She reports a scrollsaw that had belonged to her father. "It has a sheet metal 'table' with a cast metal arm which once held the saw blade. On this arm is 'pat pend D.J.ALEXANDER PHILA'. There is a bicycle seat and pedals with chain which drives gears which operate the saw."
