Got a pair of needle nose pliers that I need help ID'ing.

One side has missing letters and they go like this,

(M?)ANUE STEEL CO.

other side,

U.S. ZONE
35   5 1/2

the pliers are 5 1/2"

The name is something Steel Co.

Any help would be appreciated.

How about Manufacturers Steel Co.?  Tools made in Germany from around the time they would have been marked U.S. Zone.  Several tools on eBay (no pliers - just screwdrivers).
Here's one of those Worthpoint listings:

I reckon that could be it. The E at the end of (M)ANUE could be an F.
I'm gonna look around and see if I can find any that say MANUF STEEL CO.
It definitely doesn't have the full word because the E or F on the end is right next to STEEL.
Thanks for the lead.

Is the logo in the shape of a triangle with the 3 words in the company name on the 3 sides?  I think I have had those before, and I think it was Manufactures Steel Company.

I had a similar pair of pliers posted a while ago , but don't know how to find it in the search.
