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??

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).
