Got a pair of Diamond a no-name and one that says US and nothing else.
The adjustable wrench seems to be a 4 incher. Havn't done any searching on it yet but it sure is cool.

I love them handy boy pliers. I hope to find a USA made pair in the wild. my farmer neighbor likes them and they can be a useful tool in a tractor box.
you can buy a new imported pair at HJ Epstein's.
Those look like a pattern that Diamond made. You may be able to tell after you get some of the rust off.

I saw the pair of Diamond on AA those are 8" and the pair I have are 5 3/4" and the plier heads are different.
Yeah, those old farmer's pliers are neat!
I got one of the Chinese copies from Epsteins. For $10 it's a decent tool.

Just found them on the wrenching news site, Dimalloy 5 3/4" with screwdriver.

That handyboy type looks like they might be military issue. They didn't give us any cool tools like that. Oh yeh they probably weren't invented yet.

That's what I was wondering, only markings are the US.
I have a friend who is pretty knowledgeable about such things, and he once told me that particular style (Diamond made a couple of different sizes of those with different jaws) marked US were issued to the 10th Mountain Division of the US Army - Senator Bob Dole's old unit.
