Rarely Seen Pliers. Restoration With Copper Plating

Rarely seen pliers. Restoration with copper plating.
I can safely say, a dinosaur in the world of tools. I have never seen pliers like this in my life. I am not saying that they are for some special and specially selected function, but they are simply rare to see. Maybe they are standard pliers in some country where they were produced, but not in my part of the world where I live.
I bought these pliers at a flea market. The seller could not tell me anything more about the origin and purpose of these pliers. I tried to find more information on the Internet, but I couldn't find anything.
If someone knows something more about this tool, let them write in the comments.

Thank you my friend, I'm glad you like it. One viewer wrote that these pliers are intended for jewelry making. You would never have guessed that they were for that purpose.

Parallel action flat nose pliers. Used in jewelry making.

[@fastfixks]

I would never have guessed that they are for that purpose. Thank you for that information and thank you for watching.

Very cool project! Do you know what they used those pliers for? Was it something an electrician used? I have never seen any like those. 👍🎥

[@fastfixks]

I left a little more information in the video description. Although I couldn't specifically write there what they are used for or who the manufacturer is. I couldn't even find anything on the internet. So, the "enigma" pliers. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. I'm glad you like the video.

The type is based of the Mawn patent… but mawn was all about the pressed lightweight handles… not the parallel action. Eastern European pliers are interesting because they do tend to be a bit more innovative in their designs. The mawn patent parallels have a larger head and are noticeably top heavy. The mass puts extra strain on the base of your fore finger. I’d certainly not want to use them all day. These pliers are of limited use today because they were mainly used for straightening out small components after hand peening. They saw some service in piano repair, but mostly typewriter repair, which is a lost art. The technician was expected to fabricate replacement components out of sheet metal stock and wire, on site. A lot of complex in-situ adjustment and literal tinkering. Other related trades were electro mechanical devices, pinball machines, vending machines, automatons, side show games, automatic signs and large scale clocks.

Thanks for the detailed answer, you really provided a lot of information. It is certain that many people have not even seen this kind of pliers, and there are even fewer who could give such an answer as you gave. Thank you very much for the effort you put in to explain to us a little better and familiarize us with the purpose of these pliers. Thanks again for the comment and for watching. Greetings
