Pliers & 2 vises

[lptools]

Hello, All. This is from today's garage sailing. The pliers at top have very worn  raised figures on the handles, nothing legible, The tubular piece & the curved piece are inter-changable, and both close down on to what I would call a wooden anvil. The wood piece is held by 2 screws , and the tool has a very short open to close. The vise at bottom left has a 28 in the casting, bench mount swivel base, raise the spring loaded pin, and the pin will  index with holes in the base . The vise at bottom right has a maker's mark, just  above the pin at  the top left of the flat plate, (1st photo), not legible.  Thanks, Lou

 Top one is a pig snouter; used to cut a piece out of a pigs snout to discouage them from digging under fences. Dr Rinehart had a patent on one type but there were various manufactures.

Hello, Thanks  for the info. Is the ring on the handle used as a leader? Regards, Lou

Hello, Thanks for the info. I believe this is an E C Stearns Hog Tamer No. 25 (page 68 of my E C Stearns catalog), same  2 dies, and shows wood block is reversible. Makes sense, I bought this at a sale that was about 4 miles from the old E C Stearns, Syracuse NY, factory. Love the history!!!!!!!

Can't help on the pliers - obviously some kind of specialty tool for installing/crimping/something some component.

Those vises are WAY cool!  I've never seen a tiny leg vise like that!

It reminds me of my little World's Smallest* Breast Drill, which is about six inches long and was, I assume, from a child's toolkit.

*Just to be clear, the adjective here refers to the drill, not to the...oh, never mind.

 I like that clamp on vise, I never run across those at flea markets or garage sales.

Nice buys!

Thanks to all!!!  It was one of those rare  garage sales when I was the first one there, and no one else showed up for a while, so I had the chance to dig around.

If you want to sell the little bench vise, I would be interested. PM me with a price if you get tired of looking at it.

If you'd be interested in selling that little clamp on vise in the bottom picture, please let me know! I'd love to have that for jewelry work at my historical reenactments!
