Fits the tool collectors adage:

All  unknown tools are either nutcrackers or leather working tools
except when they're saw sets or tire fixing tools.

So it looks like I have partly beaten you - We now know it something to do with leather work, but its specific purpose is still a mystery !

I think I found it,  but am I unable upload any photos or links!!  It is on the Internet Archives in a Thomas A Mansfield catalog;  "Hercules Button Pliers" . Could someone try to post either the photo of the page, or post the link? Thanks, Lou

Depends where you hang out.  Over on Old Woodworking machines, the consensus for small stuff is saw sets or tire repair thingies.  Larger items are generally assumed to be associated with cream separators.
