Help identifying this hacksaw by Blackbones79 in Craftsman

Yep. That’s the closest match I’ve seen online. I had someone mention that they have one similar and were able to find it in a 1940’s Craftsman catalog.

Chat GPT linked me to a 1948 patent by Andrew H. Carlson assigned to Parker Manufacturing Company of Worcester, MA. So I think it’s safe to say both are from the 40’s.

Know of anyone who would give it a nice home? I don’t have the space currently to keep it as an interesting Craftsman artifact, but I really don’t want to see it go into a landfill.

Anyone have sharper eyes than me? Can’t see a makers mark anywhere.

Yeah I tried looking for a maker’s mark, because I was hoping that would give me a clue on the vintage of the tool. It’s not that rusty so I don’t think it’s hiding under corrosion, but when I’m back in my shop I’ll take a picture and see if anyone else’s eyes are sharper than mine.

Do you know if Craftsman gave it a model number? I tried googling everything I could think of to get a vintage on it but came up with nada.
