This tool is patent pending. Which means it is the earliest version produced. Production was 1914. Please see pics. Estate sale as found. I did not clean. The original crescent logo maybe on the handle to the left of crescent tool co. Tough to see.Please see my others. I will combine shipping where I can.From alloy artifacts:Crescent K24 folding screwdriver, marked "Crescent Tool Co." and "Jamestown, N.Y." on the shank.The finish is chrome plating.Although the model number is not marked on the tool, a Crescent catalog from 1928 lists this as an "All Steel Screwdriver" with blade lengths of 5 or 6 inches, respectively.The patent document calls this a "Combination Tool" and mentions an additional feature: the ability to drive sockets inserted in the handle when in the "T" position. The present tool did not come with any such sockets, and it's not clear that Crescent actually made such accessories for the tool. Another feature intended by the patent is the use as a light-duty hammer, with the screwdriver blade acting as a handle.The patent was filed in 1914, so this model may have been in production as early as that time, and it remained in production at least through the late 1920s.
