Who made this saw?

[Branson]

This weekend I picked up a small steel tool box of some vintage, along with its contents.  Among the contents was a small skew back saw.  The blade is 15 1/2 inches long, and seems to be made of decent steel.  The handle is the old comfortable style (like '40s and early '50s handles).  But there's no sign of a makers mark.   The only identifying mark I find is a raised S on the bolts of the handle.  It might have had a rectangular etch, but it's too far gone for me to read.

Anybody got an idea who made this saw?

 Yeah I am straining through my crystal ball modem, and its giving me nuthin!!
 
 But saws that size were either toy saws crudely made for kids to play with, or household/toolbox saws.
 Some of the latter was as high a quality as they ever made in a big saw! I have  Keen Kutter, only a bit bigger than this, with nickel plated screws and medallion, full carved apple wood handle (the highest grade usually made) and an elaborate etch on the blade.
   I also have a toy Disston that was made pretty well for a toy, this size exactly, but still just a toy made for an American Boy toolbox or somesuch.

Let the tube warm up in that crystal ball.

I'm not sure which it might be.  I have a couple of kids' saws, and I like them for what they are.  I also have a couple of old (pre-'30s) short saws that are very well made (as well as a few of the more recent 24 inch tool box jobs ).   This one doesn't fit neatly into either category.   More likely the latter, I think, unless it's on the order of the toy Disston you have.
