Specialty pliers, for what?

Not very old, what are they for? I can’t read the name.

This popped up when I searched lepont. Interesting as they’ve been in business since the late 30’s and specialize in broach and cutting tools. Maybe this will get you down a rabbit hole. But at this point, my phone based google foo is kaput.

The pliers are for breaking glass. Nipping bits off the scored line.

Google "glass pliers" lots of hits. Knipex makes a pair.

OK, the manufacturer is Leponitt glass pliers. They make lots of glass pliers.

They're for cracking lobster claws open... JUST KIDDING.

Those are called Grozer pliers for glass work, like Steaks&Anvil mentioned

Here's my pair. I really like them and use them for kinds of things other than glass nipping
