I was thinking back to MacWrite and other Claris programs when I wrote my original comment. I just can’t remember any of them having any save buttons in their toolbars, and I can’t find any screenshots where they have them. I can only remember saving using ⌘-S or the File menu. Maybe they had save buttons in certain markets to make Windows users feel more at home?
HyperCard of course didn’t have explicit saving at all, maybe that’s why I like that pattern so much today. Too bad it didn’t have the deep undo stack that modern applications have.
Edit: it looks like ClarisWorks 5.0 may have introduced the button in the form of an arrow pointing into a folder, but that was a pretty late addition, and it doesn’t support the universality of the floppy as a save icon: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/1821-clarisworks-5-0-with-5-0v3-update https://www.macintoshrepository.org/1821-clarisworks-5-0-wit...
