Need some help identifying this keyhole saw. Can’t find any markings on it other than patent, made in USA and has a Milford blade. Patent number is 184860 that comes up as a sewing machine improvement. Nothing like this one comes up. You can see a little bit of orange paint on one side and you can lightly see green paint in with the yellow paint where the blade bolts on. I’ve searched every AI sight with every word combination and I can’t find a picture of this exact one. Would love to know the brand and era it was made. The yellow paint is most likely would be a Stanley and from the 60’s to 70’s. But I cannot find a picture of another one like it. Want to restore it, but want to make sure if the yellow was the original color. Thank you.

Patent number is 184860
That’s a design patent number


Few more clues here



Says not known to have been produced, but you can send them a pic to say otherwise, link lower right corner.

Strikes me as a generic saw handle style that a lot of second tier manufacturers used (maybe not Disston or Atkins or Millers falls), but the let’s crank out millions for the Woolworth’s level hardware sale.
