OK, so there are a couple of tools I just can't ID. It is nice not to be OLD ENOUGH for a change.

Here are pics of the first one. It is some kind of crimping tool. I have included a couple of close ups of the logo that was struck on one side. Unfortunately, they struck it about as well as a Norwood worker hitting the partial vin down by the oil filter in 1969. Logo looks to be a guy on a power line pole, so I am guessing they were used by the electric company or the phone company. BTW, the rusty looking stuff on the machined surface is not rust, it is an old layer of cosmoline.

OK, last one. This thing looks medieval.

Made by OWS Co. Oil City, PA. Has a logo with star and crescent moon.

Adjustble, but the threads are stipped on the adjusting nut.

Look very old, but I have no way to date them.

If anyone knows what these tools are for, I would appreciate any info.

OK, never mind on the multi size crimpers. They are Klein & Sons linesman crimpers model 132-15.

Some just sold on ebay.
