After months of procrastinating, I got around to processing a big box of Apex Dayton impact specialities and magnetic drivers & bits. Found among the array was this tool, marked APEX, but not related to Dayton.

Mfd. by Chas. Morrill Co. in New York, I wondered what it was, and I'll assume for the moment that it is in fact a sawset, even though it doesn't seem to perfectly match the other ones shown in the linked 1917 catalog.

Any other insights as to the tool, its use, or its maker are welcome.

Few more catalogs, none useful

Looking at your pix, and the catalog you linked, I think the 3 or 4 looks right. What is your overall length? Looks like marks are trademarks, not

RTM - Overall length is 9-3/8" which is a dimension alluded to in the catalog for #3 & #4. I believe this one to be the "new & improved" 1914 edition, given the large "APEX" in the casting near the head. Also, per attached, I went back and found this stamped with the number "14" along with some Crosshair symbols. Still not sure how to tell between #3 & #4, It much be a simple variation on the anvil block.
