Howdy All,
I came across a panel saw this weekend I can find no info on. When found it had the usual dark but decent plate with an etch visible but unreadable through the rust. Luckily, no pitting though. The handle has a Disston USA medallion and is questionably Disston shape. The handle style does seem to be from the first half of the 20th century.
Upon a little cleanup the etch shows a to be a Standard plate. No other info on it though. I wish I would have taken the picture before I put oil on because it was much easier to read then. Internet searches have come up dry for saws or companies marked Standard.

My apologies for the upside down pics.
Can anyone give any info on it? Its most likely been pieced together. I haven't had time to pull the handle off to check the holes. It's stamped to be 9tpi but was retoothed to 5.
