Pretty dang old Klein crimper

[LXCam]

Been working on the final clean out of my shop and came across this buried in one of my mystery drawers. I completely forgot I had these but do remember buying them at a antique store in Cambria 30yrs ago. I honestly don’t know their age but figured I’d show them off before I forget about them for another 30yrs

Those aren't really crimpers . Back in the day overhead wire ( telephone and power) was solid copper. you put the two ends of the in two of those and twisted opposite direction to splice wire.
