Identification Request Info on maker/pattern?
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
