I can read that they are all made in the USA, I looked on line and couldn't find a site
that would give years their made.
I cleaned them up degreaser and water is all.
I like the used look.
Thanks

The one on the top right is actually a 90 degree crescent wrench and you can still buy that style, it’s mainly used in aviation, new I believe it’s around 200 dollars.

You can search any patent numbers on those tools to find the patent date and manufacturer. The tools were made after the patent date. Searching the manufacturer will typically give you the range the tools were made during.

The rustier ones I’d highly recommend trying electrolysis on, it’s really easy to do and you probably have almost everything to do it. I won’t write out the whole process, many good guides on YouTube and write ups elsewhere but all ya need is a car battery charger, a plastic tote or bucket, piece of wood, chunk of scrap iron, some copper/aluminum wire, water and washing soda. Make sure it’s washing soda and NOT baking soda, baking soda works slower and not as well but it’s makes WWI style chlorine gas during the process. Washing soda produces hydrogen which is of course flammable but I’ve done this process a couple times and tried to light it off and wasnt able to. By far the best rust removal method there is for small metal things, check it out man!

Check a site online, The Wrenching News. I have most of the ones in your Picture in my garage, not as an old tool collection .

Crescent is a brand name of an "Adjustable Wrench", That top RH Tool is called a "Stilson Wrench" as I recall, made in England around WW1 era.
