Dont know if this is a Centennial like Bransons, but noticed the handle is stouter than any other Crescents I have used/handled.
Nice thick handle, once you have picked up that one, the thins ones feel, less substantial.

Looks just like the Centennial with that beefy handle. What's on the other side? Mine says: The Original Since 1907.
