I need foldable cranks for two types of casement windows so I can install blinds. On of the crank sets is probably from the 1950s and has no markings on it that I could find. I did not attempt to uninstall.
The second set has Marvin on the handle and Entryguard on the rod.
Thanks!

Hello there!
Thanks for reaching out to us. It looks like you have a very old style operator which is likely not made anymore. I'm not sure if we'll have a folding handle that'd be compatible with it. To confirm, can you remove the handle and write out the hole diameter?
I also want to mention that no matter how far the handle folds, I'm afraid it may not be enough to clear the blinds. You'd need to mount them to give way for the operator, not the other way around.

Thank you. I will get the diameter and post back. I wanted to mention there are two cranks in the photos. One very old from the 50s and the other labeled Marvis and Entryguard from probably the 80s or 90s. Would you have anything for the more recent cranks? (Photos 3 and 4)

We may have something for it but a lot of important details are obscured so I'm not certain. Would it be possible to completely remove it from the window and show us some photos of the entire mechanism? We'd also like to see a photo of the operator base with the cover removed if possible.
