hand saw ID

Would love to give you an answer, but without a photo it’s nearly impossible to narrow it down.

It might be a Keystone (a lesser brand used by Disston) or something entirely different where the medallion is a replacement (very common among old saws, btw)

These are a few pics after i cleaned it all up. The etching says “marshall wells hardware company” and hartford as well in a badge pattern

It was common for the big three saw makers (Disston, Atkins, Simonds) to make saws for hardware stores so that they could carry their own brand.

Zenith was the name brand of the Marshall Wells Hardware Co. —you may find a shooting star in the etch which I think was the Zenith logo

Thanks for the info. Now i just need to learn how to sharpen and set teeth ha ha. This saw is so old and dull i cant tell if it was crosscut or rip. But with 10 tpi im guessing crosscut. And there is literally no set left in it. So i think its a nice blank canvas as i bought it to use.

I think your conclusion as to tooth configuration is correct.

For someone just starting out in the world of western hand saws, there is no better resource than this one:
