It's a Floor board saw, cutting out floorboards from the Middle rather than lifting the whole board.

......... and probably from the 1960s.?

Joseph Tysack were taken over by Spear & Jackson in the mid 1980's but they still used the Tysack name on some items.

The more common pattern has teeth on a sloping part of the upper edge as well. Simon Barley's book shows a design very much like yours but with a back like a tenon saw. Is there a gap in the handle where a back would have fitted?
