who knows old saws??

[Radio Ron w4ron]

It's marked GUNNIS PHILAD. There's a Gunnis common carpenters saw on a completed eBay listing, but that's all that I could find on the internet. The main body is cast iron and then there's the main toothed blade and another blade or scraper on the end. We thought that it may be a butcher's bone saw, but what's the blade on the end used for? The handle appears to be a hand whittled replacement. Any thoughts?

Too old for me to identify.

Was going to the Charlotte Hamfest but recovering from the bug now. If you go there there is a good chance someone will recognize the saw.

Could be a butchers saw. The scraper end might be used for scraping the fat off the top of the butcher block.
