What are these pliers used for?

[Boone23]

Does any body know what these are used for? And possibly who made them?

 

[bobemmerich]

My guess would be some sort of hog ring pliers or a Farriers tool?

i think - they are farrier's pliers / hammer combo.

Just in case the OP doesn't know what a farrier does - it's for horse shoeing.

I have used farriers pliers for sheet metal work for years. And I ain't horsing around!
