Default old hand saws

I started to cleanup some old handsaws that I have.
Disston, UNION...


I want to find out more about the UNION saw. UNION 70.
I know I had a link to old hand tools somewhere, but I can't seem to
find it, and I've been looking up sites and am drawing a blank.


I need a site to help identify the UNION 70 saw.
I know that one site helped me identify my old hand planes, and molding
planes. Wish I could find it.

Thanks guys.

Lots of manuals and such in pdf. What I detected it is a framing saw.

That's interesting. It gives their address as 402 Cherry Street in
1858. The book "Handsaw Makers of North America" shows a letterhead from
1886 with the address 108 and 110 Erie street. Apparently they needed
more space.
