Mine matches the image in the Disston Catalogs, but the catalog shows
ambidextrous teeth.  Mine, as found, were set up push, but have a very
typical tooth shape.  Blade thickness, if I can still read a vernier, is
~0.040, really thick per Sir Thomas of Conroy's assertion.

Salomon nor Eric Sloane have anything on usage.  Blackburn doesn't even
list it.

Can't find my oldest Audel's
