Hack Saw

Can anyone tell me how old this Hack Saw is? There's no name or markings on it. Thanks.

i have a Snap-On HS-3 with the same handle. the rest looks similar except where the handle mounts is bent steel instead of a casting.

I would guess 1950s. It looks like a Dreier Bros Hacksaw from before they improved the frame design on the "Low Boy" in the early 1960s. https://books.google.com/books?id=DuMDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA38&dq#v=onepage&q&f=false

I have one like what from my dad. 1,000,000x better than those crappy plastic ones. I know nothing about it though.

My Buddy who has the Hack Saw I showed in the original post gave me this Hack Saw last Sunday. It's a Blue Point.

Chicago Specialties Manufacturing Company (who did plumbing stuff) has one that they call a low pattern hack saw. Out of their 1958 catalog. Their number 3304 - if no name or small letters (CSM) then maybe a number. None shown in their 1940 catalog so maybe was a later design that took off.

I just saw one on Ebay labeling it as a Blue-Point HS-13 jab hack saw.
