I have a late 1800's early 1900's jewelers saw that has, what appears to be under a magnifying glass, a howling wolfs head and the numeral 7. The 7 is definitely the blade length but who used a howling wolfs head as a logo ? No, it's not a bucks head.
Lover and user of old hand tools.
Hey Bruce
No idea but I would surprised if its not a German tool. The Germans were (and still are) big on animal trademarks.
Could be an American with German ancestry, or even English or French which also did it a few.
But by and large, more animal head trademarks are German than anything else.
In case nothing else turns up??

Welcome to Tool Talk, Bruce!
can't help you on that one, but someone will pop in soon with info.
I was thinking German. GG Grandfather Schroeter was a locksmith. But sadly this saws "history" got lost. Bummer!
I'll go for German. I have a Fuchs drawknife marked with the name and the image of a running fox (Fuchs means fox).
