Unusual Pliers 2

[superzstuff]

While looking for my pair of "parrot head" pliers to see if they had a makers name, I came across these. Never found the parrot heads, but glad I discovered these I had forgotten. They have an adjustable gear type jaw and are marked Grip n Stik 707 Dover O. Pat. Apr. 13 '24. Are they rare or have I just overlooked others through the years? Still looking for my parrot heads!

I have examples of the "Grip-N-StiK" with a couple of different marking variations.  Back when I was tracking prices realized (a decade ago ) they were coming through in the $15.00 - $30.00 range.

Problem with "Worth" is finding a buyer that thinks it is "Worth it, & has the $$$ to buy it"...... Sometimes it's just timing...

I  think they are really cool, no matter what they are Worth. Hey you have them too.
