The circle M should be made by Moore and the triangle K is Kraeuter.

The Dunlap pliers were a price line sold alongside Craftsman by Sears from the late '40s to 1960
The Diamond K was a price line sold alongside Kraeuter branded tools.
The Crestoloy was an alloy tool sold by Crescent. 542 is the part number and 7 is the length in inches. Hope that is of some help.

Yes, any and all info is appreciated.

These tools and others that I will post as I go along belonged to my FIL. All his tools are now mine and there's plenty to go thru. Everything from vintage pliers to Starrett Mics to vintage tool boxes.
