PWA 2043 is more important, war era aircraft tool...

From an unrelated 1943 patent for a bandsaw blade
"assignor to
Carl Schweizer and Hans Schweizer, copart
ners doing business as The Hartford Tool &
Die Company, Hartford, Conn."

From the PWA thread:
2043 Snap Ring Plyers for R-2000 engines
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
