I picked this up about a month ago. I'm guessing it was homemade, but I'm not sure. It certainly was made a long time ago.
Interesting saw

It is a interesting looking saw regardless wether it is homemade or not. It looks to have a rather small handle but I like the design of it. Nice find !

Whoever sharpened it does a better job than I do.

I think I see what you mean by "homemade." The parts are cut down from a larger handsaw, hence the nib and the oddly shaped handle. I'll bet the details on the top of the handle could tell us who made the original saw, but I don't know my handle profiles well enough to even guess.

Pedder found this pic of one of the first saw handles I ever made. It was made before TLT was installed. Some similarities, isn't it?

You're saw looks smaller and older, but it is similar to a saw in the 1918 Disston catalog. On page 151, a joiner saw is listed. It looks like it has a nib and no back with an open handle.

That looks like a Humm Dinger to me. At a certain point in one's life the label loses its aura.
