Crescent screw drivers

[koondog]

I am curious about a couple of screw drivers that have been in my tool box for years. Not sure where they came from, probably a sale somewhere. They are all marked Crescent, are all metal with a knurled handle that folds out into a T handle. Any information on them would be appreciated. They are about 6-7 inches long. I am at work so no pictures.
Thanks.
Bob

The sell on ebay frequently $10-15. I have never run across one in the wild.

Thanks. I didn't expect that they were valuable. I was curious as to how old they are. These are the only ones I have ever come across.

Those are actually pretty neat...

I wouldn't mind coming across a set of those...

Wonder why that design isn't made by someone else...

Thanks for the link. They are older than I thought. They are pretty cool and I do use them on occassion. Pretty beefy and sturdy actually.
Thanks again for the ino.
