Just found out Epstein has scans of old tool catalogs they have lying around. Was looking through their 1966 Herbrand catalog, and came across a "Battery lifter and scraper" plier that looks very close to the OP's tool. And they're claiming it's a design exclusive to them. Worth a look-see.

Ah-hah! It says in the catalog listing that the "teeth" on the end of the upper jaw are used to scrape the inside of the battery terminal. Obvious now, but I probably would not have guessed that.

Yeah, it is a great looking little tool.
