xpost I got this cool weird looking saw at the junk shop



and the other thread helped me ID it as some sort of heavy industry saw

Just Winging It posted:

I can just about make out Henry. The cartouche ends with EED SAW it seems, and Cast Steel, Warranted, Philadelphia USA underneath.

I did some digging because Henry and Philadelphia point to Disston, and lo and behold what I found in a 1949 Disston catalog: https://archive.org/details/DisstonCatalogNo100R9/page/n91/mode/2up



It's a Disston No. 17 Utility Speed Saw. The teeth still are odd, but I'd guess that may have been an option or they've been shaped like that at some point by a previous owner. Or the picture isn't quite true to life.
