Utica Tools plier

[mwurds55]

Have a strange looking Utica Tools B787 pliers. It's from my Dad's player piano business. It has a square tip. The closing faces are slightly curved. Any ideas?

Pictures would help

The B in the part number means it was a special order tool. Ordered by a company for a specific task. Usually it was a variation of an existing catalog tool, modified slightly to fit the customer's needs. Post a picture and maybe we can figure it out.

Dad worked for AT&T. They had a lot of Utica pliers in their tool boxes.

I think nos utica dykes are some of the best.

Not sure what that particular plier looks like.
