The saw is 18" long Craftsman, needs a good sharpening, otherwise ok.

that thing resting on it might take a little more more to clean up

I did clean the iron a bit ago. Found the words "STANLEY" a SW inside a heart, and a Made in USA. Hmmm, might be worth a dollar bill, after all.:D

Handle on the saw isn't too bad

Medallion simply says CRAFTSMAN. The wheat markings ARE carved in, not painted on.

Was the handle on the scraper plane red?

The scraper was for scraping labels off of things like fruit boxes for re use.

Are you sure the wheat is not branded in?

It is incised, either something pressed it hard into the surface, or a die to make it look incised. The lines are quite deep, however they wer placed into the wood.
