I bought this last Saturday at a market. Clearly it has had a hard life. There is no indication of maker - that must have been cut oof when it was shortened. Any suggestions welcomed.

Hi, An interesting little saw. The way that they have "skew backed" it may mean that it was adapted for a particular job. It is so easy to bend these things in use when you have a foot of very slim blade to play with and you don't have the patience of Job. (Experience). Perhaps a shorter blade would do the job just as well and be a lot more rigid. I have had a number of keyhole saws in job lots of tools that I have bought and very few have a maker's name on them. Judging by the split nuts, you are probably looking at late 19th/early 20th centuries. But that is a complete WAG. Fred
