Title: Flat Jaw Pliers Aug. 8 1933 Presrite
Post by: wvtools on February 07, 2012, 01:34:15 PM

Here's one for Rusty.  A patented tool that I cannot find any information on.  It looks like some kind of leatherworking or glazier's pliers.  They are marked Pat. Aug. 8, 1933; Presrite.

Very much like glass pliers, but not.

They are shoemakers pliers for holding the top of the shoe to the sole.

Pat# 1921506

I can't find anything on the company name in that time frame....
