I turned up this reference from Atkins' 1937 catalogue. Anything look familiar?

Mine as in 'mine not yours'?

"Mine" as in
"What's yours is mine and what's mine is my own."

Must be quite a collector at $300.

Mine is not to question why?

Luke,
thanks for enriching my education, we have a similar
term over here but I can't think of it at the moment.
Paul,
thanks for the Atkins catalogue pic, they had more variety

saws all had x

not sure of what happened with my last post,
here is the rest of it.
saws all had the same x-cut tooth pattern eg
peg, tuttle and lance but no briar (rip) pattern.
The photos are of the Disston #196 docking saw
that I have here, it is not cleaned up yet.
The blade is 30" long. the breasting is 1 1/8"
the front rake angle of the teeth is 65 degrees
which makes the gullet angle less than 60 degrees
which will require a special file when it comes time
to tidy up the tooth line.
Graham.

The advertisement is headed up "special" saws .
My son used to have a plaster saw. It was when the hardpointer wore out and became too blunt to cut timber he would consign it to cutting gyprock. I think the Atkins saw may have been used as much for hard, thick insulation as gyprock.

The Docking saws I have all seem to be the standard 60 deg pattern. I would be tempted to bring your saw back to that just for ease of maintenance: Different of course if it had a two man crosscut style of tooth with rakers etc..
Your saw is a very good example of that type and well worth a restoration.
