The Atkins, I would bet, is a No. 51; the screw pattern matches that better than it does the 53/58/59 saws. A real fine saw; my go-to rip saw is a No. 51. Lots of those old ones lost the nickel-plating on the screws over time.

The reason for the 53 number? Saw has a skew back.

Not to worry, 51's came in a few shapes. My No. 51 is a skew-back for sure. The No. 53's always had some more ornamentation and a different handle shape. And the 58/59 types didn't have as many tote screws as yours has.
