          I had to double check , the Patent info says Freewheel Ratchet , but the example I have here is stamped Free Wheeling Ratchet.

I dug this out today while looking for something else. I always thought it was a quick release ratchet , but the button is actually the shifter/selector for forward and reverse. The patent info refers to this as a Gearless Ratchet , turns smoothly , and quietly!

The shape and knurling of the nut for the blade clamp is distinctive from one manufacturer to another.  But I don't know where online you could find a chart pointing you in the direction of who made that.  It's a truly neat tool; wouldn't have broken my heart to have found that in an estate sale.
