Can anyone identify these saws ?
They're sort of in the style of Wheeler, Madden & Clemson with the big thumb notch in the handle, but I haven't been able to find a blade etch/stamp.
The upper one has been filed almost to the famous "alligator nose" style, but without jointing, so that the tooth line is concave by almost 1/2 ". The label screw is an eagle style "Warranted Superior" , although it's loose and could perhaps be a relacement (the recess cut into the handle doesn't seem to fit the medallion diameter, however the cap nut on the reverse side does match the others)
The lower saw has split-nut sawnuts and a recessed English style "Warranted Superior" label screw, with the english coat of arms.
