Looks like a pair of tire chain pliers to me.

The jaw pair with the slot & center hole are too delicate for tire chains -- something specialized and uncommon.  Were there other specialty tools in the overall lot that might give context for these?

I agree with Branson,,,,,tire chain repair tool.
I have personally put rings in Hog's noses when I was ten years old till 20 years old.
My pliers used did not look like this.
Big old hogs were a bitch to move from pen to pen. You just had to move them out to clean up the mess they always made.
They just loved to wallow in their own pig-shit.
Their nose was tender and sensitive.
Even humans a long,long time ago were controlled with this method.

These are double hog nose-ring pliers - similar, but not the same

Hog rings are more than just their namesake... There are hog rings in my apholstery in my Fiero. Definitely much smaller, and finer than those used for a pigs snout :P

I was referring to the hog rings used in upholstery.

If you look at my other post under garage sale finds , it was in that tool box.
 
I added another pic next to  ruler for a size comparison.
