Maybe for non-marring use as a stretching tool for leather, or fabrics, or rubber?

^^^^My bad. You're correct. Thank YOU for the education sir.

I Googled and can see why you suggested that. However, the tapered tip of the opposing (non-brass) jaw matches the patent I discovered...

You should try that. And compare the pics you find to the pics op posted. Gonna have a tough time getting to the plug weld through that...

Found a patent. 1905

I paid a bit more than $1.15. May I ask where you found this ad?

Thank you. I’ve gotten a lot of interesting guesses. It was fun to show it around.

Not sure what their intended use is, but the swivel has ensures that it is always parallel to that side of the thing being gripped...

Piano key pliers

Oh. Marked A. S. * Co

I picked these up because they are weird. Or maybe that’s me. I can’t sleep til I know what they are for… help me Obi Wan.
