Jewelers cutters as far as I can determine. Less than 5 inches long. Those squares are 0.5 inches.

Not mine, but a buddy's score today (he was faster than me) from our trip down-valley:
Crucible steel!
L. Gueutal, France. I think the M. G. (or C) is an owner's mark.
Nice box joints, still nice and tight after well over 100 years.
A little Googling found a tiny bit about L. Gueutal. Early-to-mid 19th century maker of watchmaker's and jewelers tools. That's about it.

After I put the 76ers back together, I was struck, despite being a different model, by their resemblence in construction details and grip pattern to a pair of Boker USA slipjoints.
Oh, damn, I’ve got the pivot screw in backwards.
Aw shucks, I got all excited to see Krueger pliers, and they turned out to be plain old Kraeuter pliers…(kicks stone in dust).
I came across this thread and laughed, 'At least I don't have a pliers problem' only have a few. 
a couple in some wall cabinets.
Then, I checked my display/storage cabinets and grouped them together
Maybe I do have a pliers problem, I know there are more multigrips in tool kits and some new Channellocks somewhere.

^ Not nearly enough there.
I'm not seeing any 11-inchers, or any of the 90-degree offset needle-noses in there!
Come on, get with the program!
The options are without end!

I know it's frightening, Love the Peterson -Dewitts, had to import the parrott nose set from US, as an original pr I had was borrowed used and abused without my knowledge, best tool I've ever had, daily or close to it anyway use for 10 years in my Valiant/Chrysler wrecking yard, only for some **** to borrow and use them as a hammer.
Can't resist a good pr, but limit myself to those and pre-2000 Sidchome ( normal moved to asia **** after that)
2 Knipex have crept in which I really like also, but you'll be displeased to know I've manfully resisted buying some Cobras for over 9 months now- been so close quite a few times thou and will more than likely succumb at some point.

Also, not nearly enough vintage plain steel grip pliers...
I'm trying, the Sidcrome plain metal and red wrapped are virtually impossible to find, and I'm not paying the ridiculous $150+ prices they go for at auction, The red gripped Sidchromes date back to the 60's, that's vintage according to every seller on EBAY if it's more than a yr old, and I don't enjoy using the metal handled ones anyway.Also, not nearly enough vintage plain steel grip pliers...
Was looking for a few years to replace a vintage set of nippers, but couldn't find what I wanted and ended up with Knipex as they were the best price/quality option, then stumbled on a new Channellock, blue wrapped grips for 20% of new price and and it was a fine, can't pass that up. Just after that a silly seller popped up with a 1980's 'as new pr' of Sidchrome with a Buy it now price of $35 AUD, so I said OK, only seen one other pr for sale in 5 yrs, they went for north of $400AUD, and of course after that a friend gave me the original metal handled nippers I'd been looking for as a gift-all happened over 6 weeks so now I have 4 prs when I only wanted one
But wait there's more, OK , I am now convinced I have a pliers problem also.I came across this thread and laughed, 'At least I don't have a pliers problem' only have a few.

These are Sidchromes budget line -1980
