Antique Crescent and Red Devil Tool Display Case

Oak point-of-sale tool display case featuring products from two prominent American hand tool manufacturers.

Both Crescent Tool Co. and Smith & Hemenway were among the most influential American hand tool manufacturers of the early twentieth century, with Crescent becoming synonymous with adjustable wrenches and Red Devil earning recognition for specialty hand tools and scrapers used by tradesmen and craftsmen. Shows moderate wear consistent with age and commercial use including finish wear, scratches, scattered losses, oxidation to metal components, and age-related patina throughout. Original glass was replaced in-house. Retains original labels, price tags, and surviving tool examples. 24" W x 3" D x 48" H MM - 20841 - 060226   This piece will need to ship via freight.
