Or well used? Or someone tried to use it as a leatherworking tool? I’ve never checked one too see how sharp. (Idea gives me the creeps, plus too much of my own blood makes me uneasy) Maybe those are just to hold it open after cutting? No idea how they were used, so it was simply a matter of pattern recognition from here.
That is SWEET!! Being local, I’ve seen a lot, but not that. I went to one sale held by a guy that retired from Crescent in the early-70’s. As a retirement gift, they gave him a full line of tools manufactured in Jamestown on display boards. He had them on the wall of his shop. It was unbelievable, but, understandably not for sale.I just looked at your profile. I didn't know you were from Lakewood. Have you seen the Danielson unfinished wrench blank? The seller and I originally thought it was Crescent. He found it in an attic in Jamestown. The shape around the hang hole looks like JPD not Crescent. Here it is, bottom in photo with a Williams example above:

Your "big key" is, I believe, a bottle opener.Got to stop at the tool guy today and found a few bits.
$17 got me a New Britain 48oz ball peen to add to the collection (at 3 now; Craftsman, Vaughan, and now NB) as well as a Snap On deep well socket, Snap On screwdriver, an odd cross peen hammer I thought would be useful, and a large brass key because I've ended up with a decent collection of skeleton keys and it looked like a fair addition (might be able to use it for a project too, basic oversized lever lock with a shield between the two levers to match its profile).
Also tool guy has found a great deal on the Rust-Oleum silver flake spray paint so while I didn't bring anything painted with it back yet future lots will most likely be silver instead of black like the 48oz ball peen pictured.
Also if anyone is curious, the spoon also in view is a teaspoon. Not the teaspoon in your cupboard mind you. You put the tea in it then the other spoon shaped portion by it is pinned to the spoon via a hinged pin and closed and locked via a spring clasp so you can dip it in your cup without the extra 1/32 of a cent per unit cost accrued through the use of bags.
I don't think it's a bottle opener because it's so thin on the handle section and being brass it might be quite malleable. It has a brand stamped on it I figured I'd look up but I'm assuming it's just a hobby lobby sort of decor item given its size and it not having a true cut.
Figured it was modified but I'm not sure of the benefit of the hole other than potentially dropping a few grams of weight.
Good catch! Reinforced hanging hole is a tell, too.
No idea. It’s plastic and the hinge is broken. It’s a bit grubby but I don’t see any markings.
