• I was at a garage sale late today and they were packing up, this was in the bin to be thrown out as no one had bought it.
  
  Its fairly hefty, even with a 10x loupe I can't make out the makers name. I don't have the slightest idea what industry would have used pliers like these???

• Somebody was able to do some detective work and and ID them as 'cobblers leather stretching pliers'.

• What a cool tool, great score Jim
  
  Guess yours is mostly intended for pulling fabric and not so much leather, as those rough jaws would make quite noticeable imprints in leather.
