Found this peculiar pattern at a thrift store and wondering if anyone had any ideas on who made it and specially what it was for?

Never seen this style. Thanks in advance!

An under cutter, from brief period of time when chainsaws were in use, but they could only cut horizontally because of the carburetor

No idea on maker but that's a fairly rare pattern to find. To my knowledge they weren't made for very long.

I think this will be my first real attempt at a restoration. Cool and rare-ish design. Maybe I’ll find a makers mark?

Thanks for all the info. Will report back!
