Wondering IF this was made by Disston?

If you Google Nicholson File company you can find the company's history. They were and I think still are, predominantly a file company. But they did make saws and other tools.

My favorite saw as a young man was a Nicholson 26-inch, 10 pt. crosscut saw. I still have it but it's now more of a utility saw, since I have better ones. It's the saw I learned to file on and bears the evidence of my learning curve. Someday I'll joint the teeth off of it and refile them properly. But it works as well as any other saw when sharp.
