This example is in awful condition but I would like to know who made it. There is an anchor logo and an S, that much is clear (there's a vague possibility of an H on the other side from the S). Is this a Smith & Hemenway pliers? AA has a write up but doesn't mention an anchor logo (and not in the logo photo list either). The stamping below the anchor is, I think, "PAT APLD FOR". There is a design patent D30,237 which resembles these pliers.
IF these are S&H pliers they must pre-date the acquisition of Red Devil and maybe even the patent date of 1899!

No idea on date of this.

Great, Bill! That confirms the anchor logo is S&H.
Thanks!
