Model 12-JS A, Atkins 3 in 1 jig saw for sawing, sanding, and filing.

From a 1950 Popular Mechanics ad: “This jig saw has everything any hobby-minded “boy” - whether 6 or 60 - could possibly want!”

An interesting note about this jig saw is that Atkins Industries, Inc. and Hamilton Ross Industries, Inc. share the same address - 5823 N. Ravenswood Ave., Chicago. See the Hamilton Ross toy sized scroll saw here:
