I got this off of peebay a week or two ago, it didn't arrive until today. I figured by the handle and the WS medallion that it might be a cheap second line simonds saw, but I'm pretty sure it's not (not simonds, still might be second line). I don't have any idea if simonds ever did a second line saw, anyway.
The etch says "Tip Top" and at the bottom it says "patent temper, patent ground, warranted, cast steel".
In the middle it has a songbird sitting on a branch.
Any clue who made it? It's a decent saw, not junk (you never know with the WS medallions, sometimes you end up with something floppy).

At one time, we used to talk about oddball tools, and for some reason over the last couple of months, it's like if you talked about tools like you actually liked them for the sake of liking tools, you got trolled. Be nice if we could get back to the more interesting of the tools.
I've got three more oddballs coming in the mail. When they arrive, I'll picture them.
Stan C - this is the inexpensive saw I got for our little competition. It's 5 points and no rake right now. I'll relax it a little. It's no 12, but I think it will be able to do what it's supposed to do, and more importantly for me, it's got good clean teeth on it so it won't take very long for me to relax the teeth just a little and set them.
