Hit 3 yard sales today. Spent $1.00 technically for the long needlenose pliers and the screwdriver/T-Wrench. Guy said just put the clamp in the truck; threads bent up somewhat as well as the tightening handle.
The needlenose pliers are, so far, no-name.
The clamp is a CRAFTSMAN with 66673 stamped on it
3" +- max. opening
The screwdriver is stamped Crescent Tool Co.
                                             Jamestown, N.Y.
On the other side is stamped 4"
                                          Patented

Those Crescent screwdrivers with the trick handle are pretty cool.  I own one.  I doubt it will ever see action, but it's nice having it.

Those Crescent screwdrivers have a STRONG spring.  Very cool.

Yes, I found out about the strength of the spring.
Skin not broken thus no foul, will develop a set procedure for safe opening and closing.
Looking at it closer I noticed that the comma between Jamestown and N.Y.
is full height of the letters. Not a biggie but interesting.
Was looking closer for some clue to date the thing.
It has 4 IN. on the tool so I realize that Pat. Dates may not have been considered needed
       PATENTED

Anyone have an idea when this thing was made?

Alloy Artifacts to the rescue: 1914 patent, production through the late 20s.  See http://alloy-artifacts.org/crescent-tool.html#history.  There's a little paragraph right at the beginning, showing an ad from 1915, and a more comprehensive paragraph further down (I searched on "screwdriver" to get to it quickly).

I would have thought they were more recent. To me, they have more of a '50's, 60's look and feel.

Thanks for your info
The Alloy Artifacts article had a picture which identifies tool as "K24 Folding Screwdriver..."
It appears to be an exact match for my screwdriver except for the mint condition
of the piece in photo vs. the very dark and still a little red-brown which mine is.
