    Saw ID Help

    I rescued a 22' saw from my in-laws' basement. Plain beech (but comfy) handle, plain brass nuts. The etch is weak but I can make out a sun rising (setting?) over some mountains and text with what looks to be Cleveland and Lake Erie. Possibly all of this captured in the outline of the state of Ohio - that is a complete shot in the dark but it is my best guess. The other identifying marks are solid and not speculation.

    I know pics would help but my attempts at capturing the etch have been without success. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'll be cleaning it up, sharpening it and then and passing it on to o ne of my sons. I'd just like to give him a little history other than it was something his grandfather probably scored at a house sale. Thanks in advance.

    Oops! Sadly, I can't even blame autocorrect, just my fat fingers. Guess I'll need to budget a bit more time for the sharpening.
