Another Unknown

[GaryD]

Bought a bunch of mystery tools at a tag sale, this is the only one I haven't figured out.  It is about 10.5 inches long and is stamped "crome-alloy".  Will submit an open and closed view.  Looks like it cuts something.  Any ideas?

Yep, that's the one.  Chain plier for sure.

Thanks for the quick solve of this mystery!  After a quick search it looks like a HERBRAND Chain Repair pliers--fremont Ohio.  Mid 1930's.  Thanks for the help!

St. Pierre also made a pair that looked like these.  Not positive, but I think they had the original patent.
