Ran upon one of these. It's not nearly so nice as this one though, but I can get it cheap. I am not a collector but I am tempted to try to buy this saw and restore it. Just curious if it they are worth anything? As I said, I am not a collector and I am going to grab my power saw for 99% of the rips buts I going to make too.
 
It's a thumbhole rip saw, for 2 handed use. Feels good in the hand, and prices can vary a great deal - age, condition of the handle, condition of the etch, pitting or not, and how much height is left on the steel. I have a few D-8s and they are very nice users. Lots of info at the Disstonian Institute.
