Strange chainsaw?

Looks like the business end of a thingamadoo.

Yes, but it looks like it is missing the doohinky.

Ooftah!a Is the handle on the end mostly used to pick up the bar for the next cut or is that person pushing down on it?

That is on bottom and you put it under the wood. I used to run cable loader pulp wood trucks. Now they don't take short wood. I thought about converting to haul long ways, but we use a goose neck trailer we built.

You're right! I didn't catch it.

Sure it is not a meat saw for splitting large animals?

Wright saw were used for meat saw, but was not it's original purpose. Originally for wood, at least in the online searches I did some time back.

Well we are exploring a property we have purchased and are finding lots of really old and unique items…

This particular saw body is one of them.. today I was in a hurry and just grabbed this picture… but zoomed in it is some kind of chainsaw …
I’m told bow saw, brush chain saw.. but I’m not sure… I’ve googled a lot of stuff, but this has not appeared…

What do y’all think?

Could have bought this one for 15 dollars this weekend. But, I took a pic so you all could see how they look.
