Help me identify these pliers

[bfm336]

For the life of me I can't figure out what these are. Definitely a big "C" that looks like a snake kind of. Grateful! Thx

^ ^ ^ I think that's it. Old school Crescent.

Cool . . . . where'd you get it OP ??

Post up MORE PIC's of the entire pliers.

Op any way you could take some white paint and dab the area then clean off the top coat so we could make out the letters any better.

Those Button's pattern pliers have been banged up. Pits and two colors of paint. The stamp is right on the edge of the flat, maybe trailing off a bit. I'm not convinced it's letters at all! If they are letters, it's not clear whether they are raised or recessed to the surface. The largest mark looks like an outlined or raised stylized "C" with the bottom of the curve enlongated into an underscore, sort of like Colt (but the word is longer) or Craftsman. In some of the pics, it looks like the first two "letters" inside the curve of the "C" might be raised "RA", though in other shots looks like recessed "U.S." The last visible letter could be an "N" or an "R" or "Y" in other shots. And right in the middle it looks like a very large ampersand.
"Cus'E'nVy"? "Craftsman"? I just can't read it.

I had a pair exactly like that and they were Utica with diamonds around the letters. What brand could be a rebrand?

Thanks to a new post on garage sale thread, I've got it: Smith Bros Hardware of Columbus, OH. The logo does start with a C-snake/underline, and spells out "CutEasy".

When I was a small boy and my Father would drive by the Smith Hardware Building in Downtown Columbus and I would yell" Oh Daddy please take me there". Poor Dad would keep telling me" woody that place closed down before you were born".

Still there in all its former glory, maybe I can take some pictures for you guys they turned it into condos.

Interesting but I found an article saying it closed in the 1980's but I can never remember a time in my lifetime that it was ever open for business?

Dad did you pull a fast one on your tool loving son???

Still I drove past it in the 1970's and 1980's and I never found any cars or people going into the building?

I will try and stop and take a few pictures...
