The circle B mark isn't in Lauver's list of makers, and 4502 isn't in my catalog...so don't feel bad - P

no,it is a definite (B)   says craftsman usa 4507 i looked this mornibg with a loop found the 4502 was really a 4507  bob w

#4507 is listed on page 20 in the 1949 Catalog as a 7 1/2" Slip-Joint Side cutting pliers. Price $1.98

Interesting.

Any chance of a nice, sharp photo of the B-circle, Bob?

The grip pattern may provide a clue too...

not a chance of me getting a picture that good of the stamping I can hardly read it
the handle pattern is a series of triangles gradually made larger.  bob w.
