At first glance, this saw, with its blade held by a metal strap so you can adjust the depth, or flip it over to use teeth on the top, would appear to be the Wuest's patent as sold by Bishop, but in fact it's the 1914 Smith patent, pretty blatantly ripped off from the Wuest design. One of Disston's least common saws. 12" blade nice and clean with good etch, handle near mint.

It's 29-1/2" long, with arched wooden support member that attaches to the handle and runs parallel to the blade for its entire length, terminating in a brass bracket that holds a screw used to tighten the 19" blade. The teeth are raked away from the handle, 6-1/2 tpi. Possibly used to cut planks from a board It's unmarked except for the name "J.S. Swanton" which looks like a user stamp. Very well made and looks manufactured. One of the screws that holds the support to the handle is missing and the other looks like a modern replacement.
