I've got a couple of MF hacksaws, but found a MF power saw at an auction..  Coughed up $5 for it, but haven't plugged it in yet.

I'm pretty sure MF made hacksaws !

Came across one the other week, a No-1934B.

Similar to a Consolidated Tool Works Inc out of NY.
  A No. 20 with the circular PILOT USA logo.

It is not impossible they were made by the same company you know.
One of the things Millers Falls got buying Union Tool co was it's hacksaw frames...If hacksaw frames were something Consolidated was outsourcing....

All depends on the timeframe and a lot of if's of course...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

That circular saw is nice! I never saw a M.F. version of one of those before!

Strangely enough, your photo of the handle may have solved a mystery for me: who made the Sears "Companion" power drill I have?  It is too early, apparently, to carry the typical three-digit Sears prefix number identifying their manufacturer, but it has a hacksaw-like handle of the same shape, and with the same checkering pattern, as yours.  The handle, however, is black instead of red, and has a very shallow oval depression between the rivets, as though there was an intent to add a label or decal in the area.

more MF hacksaw goodness !!

From the bottom: Miller Falls, Simonds, and I have no idea.

I saw one with this wood handle in an antique store today. It was a regular depth saw, rusty, and the handle was in poor condition. It had square nuts that didn't look original, and they wanted $25!
