This old saw could be restored. All it needs is a new handle and a new blade.
Sorry about the oversize photo.

Might know where a handle might be..
   
Maybe a whole stack?
   
Not much help on the plates, though....

Disston D-16?

The nut pattern does look D-16 ish. Does it have a wheat pattern? Maybe this saw CAN be saved.

Went and checked...have a D-16 style handle in both carved and  plain styles  Have no plates that will work with them, good ones, anyway.   Even have a few bolts in brass and steel...medallions are stamped as Warranted Superior....there is an AAA  Atkins medallion in the pile, as well.

Actually they be a No. 16 handle. or...No. 76 handle


I did find the skew back plate for the Atkins saw....8ppi skew.  I guess NOW I'll have to rehab that one, next...

The No. 16 and/or the No. 76 handles are orphans....

Ah, pictures..
   
The pair of Orphans
Rolleyes
   
This may be the "elder" of the two..
   
However, this one does have the carving....The #2 holes do not line up between the two handles.


As for the Atkins handle?
   
Sorry, have found a plate that matches..
   
So I guess I'll have to clean it up.....would be nice to know it's model number, though.....I will try to find an etch..
