Thanks. Any idea how old?

Late 19th-Early 20th....I'd lean more towards 20th century. These were the medallions used on "secondary" Disston saws as referenced in the link.

Just speaking up in confirmation... 72cheyenne is right, it is definitely the "medallion" from an antique handsaw's handle.

Edit: He and I were typing at the same time -- thus my post is "dupllicative" of his.

Thank you!
