I just acquired this old pair of end nippers. Can't find any kind of identifying mark on them. There is a Made in U.S.A. forging, and a really cool handle pattern.
They have a 1920s or 30s look to me. A beefy, well-made tool.
You'd think they'd have a maker's name.
Does one of you learned folks have any ideas?
Thanks!

The handle grip pattern is used by Peck, Stow & Wilcox; also found on Worth Brand Tools, but Peck, Stow & Wilcox likely made them.

Thanks, Oregon Dave - you nailed it!
I looked through AA, but I missed the pic of the P S & W lineman's pliers with that exact handle pattern.
Mystery solved - you GJ folks are the best!
