Vintage Cee Tee tools / Crescent - who's got some?

[SweetD]

I was talking with a friend at work this week, and the subject of Crescent Tools came up. They were long ago swallowed up by the Cooper (now Apex) conglomerate, but before that they made some cool vintage USA stuff.

I took a (what I think is) pretty cool random photo of my "Cee Tee" adjustable pliers:



...anyone else have some cool vintage Cee Tee / Crescent stuff?

And nearly a decade later in the thread… pawn shop find $1 bin. Noticeably heavy for their size 6 1/2” and despite looking like they’ve had a hard life they’re still pretty tight. I’m going to see if I can clean them up some

They cleaned up pretty well and I was able to redefine the teeth again. They feel great, both in the hand and the grip of the teeth. Very pleased! I just think reviving older tools like this is so much more satisfying to have in the tool box than going to HD/Lowe’s and buying something off the shelf

I surprised several collectors, including myself, when I found these lurking in my stash.
