Need to find a saw blade

[Ernie]

Found this saw today and I want to find a new blade for it. The saw is 6.5" wide and 10.5" long. I find it very intriguing and I would like to make it work. I can sharpen some of the blade but it is a configuration I don't recognize. I don't even know what to call the saw to search for a blade. Any help would be great.

That's a Buck Saw. Looks to be home made by a wood worker. Usually these are made using a suitable band saw blade cut to desired length and drilled on the ends to attach to the legs of the frame with a small nut and bolt or just a pin(nail). Most are designed for cross cutting small logs for firewood, etc, but they can be fitted with a blade that's used for other purposes. I used to have one. There's plans for them on the web, and other info.

This one would have had a depth of cut of about 1"+/-. perhaps used for cutting moldings, or other small pieces, etc. They've been used for thousands of years.

Yes it looks like a buck saw. I am thinking a vintage coping saw. The blade appears to be bidirectional and the ends have a loop to insert a pin. I have not taken it apart to see if it is soldered on. I guess I will have to try to sharpening it but I will have to study it a bit more before I attempt it. I have not tried to drill a band saw blade but I feel it would be a challenge. Annealed maybe
