Need help identifying these pliers ?

[toolsinquestion]

I came across this and am curious if anyone can recognize this or can make out the words (looks like “little wonder ?”) not sure what this is used for or if thats the date/era. If you know anything I’d like to hear

No, I don't. I haven't seen them before, in the wild or in books. I merely looked up the patent date in DATAMP. Did you click on "Patent Picture" 4? It's actually a period ad for the Little Wonder version. Fantastic find. Congrats. If I were you I would be searching the heck out of Google Books on every term and name referenced on the DATAMP page. The Patentee. The manufacturer. Little Wonder pincers. etc. Use Google Books. Not Google.

Also kicking around on the other side of the house. Same answer tho.

Anyone know anything?

Came across these recently. Was told leather working tool. Not sure , very cool with the hammer and blade on the end. Cool engravings but cant make out anything other than “11-1875” and “little wonder?” If you know anything would be cool to hear.
