found another  pair with the Liberty Bell and Germany

Was this some sort of "Gotcha" to the German workers for losing the war?

Or just a marketing campaign to appeal to the American patriotic ideal?

Can't help with the Statue of Liberty, but those are interesting pliers.  Stubby needle nose, but what's the part on the side, above Lady Liberty's head?

Yah interesting, some sort of an electrical crimper perhaps?

I have a pair with a similar "protuberance" and they are wire cutters.

can't see the tips too well, but they seem to come down to  points like a snap-ring plier...
