Old Belknap saw

>Hello! This is my first ever post, so please forgive me if I do not do it correctly. I have a "W.B. Belknap & Co." hand saw and from what I have googled, this company only used the above name on their tools from 1860 to 1880. The medallion on the side of the handle, along with the makers name above, says "The Homestretch" and in the center depicts two horses' heads in a race. One just slightly ahead of the other. Does any one know anything about this saw? I could find no info (history/scarcity/value) on "The Homestretch" logo and saw. Any help would be much appreciated.
