I like it, but it does need a new handle and a sharpen!
I'd womble the steel to make a set of knives. Chef, fillet and boning knife (atleasr) look present in that blade should you ever consider recycling it!

It'll probably need a good set as well. But thats an excuse to learn all the skills. Shame not to restore it to its purpose.
Quick clean up I used to sell saw setting pliers... stopped buying them in cause no one bought them...
I'm guessing it's some kind of old Rip Saw...? It looks similar to one owned by a "chippy" mate of mine...I'll text him tomorrow and see what he thinks...
It's a crosscut, not a rip.
Single-handed version of the big two handed ones, for cutting logs.
I'd used a wire brush on an angle grinder to polish the blade sides, then carefully sharpen with a find file. Then a new handle.
An interesting project.

I've just found a nice bit of mahogany in my dads garage for the handle.... there's one tooth ( if that's yhe em right word ) I think pretty destroyed but the rest looks doable. ...
Great link for info on setting by the way☺.... nothing on sharpening though.....
I'm not sure about wire brushes? ??
They do work Well but I used one on a bilhook recently and I think I prefer the patina!
I found paraffin and wire wool and elbow grease is a good staring point.

I wouldn't wire brush that. Take the handle off, lay the blade flat on your work bench and then douse it with paraffin. Rub well with an oilstone. Brings it up lovely.

Been studying that guy for years 
Have the jointers and even the saw set big enough for the largest teeth. Never, ever found a cross face / cross pein hammer though
I live in hope of a 2lb cross pein and maybe a 2lb straight pein which would "get 'er done"
