The cronk pliers are likely made by the Cronk & Carrier Mfg co, Elmira,NY, aka Cronk Hanger co, child of William Cronk. They are more known for Button pliers, but made pliers in general. (1890's-?)

(They look like they are probably gas pliers, I can't see the end in the photo that well, is it hollow with teeth?)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

the cronk pliers are hollow with teeth looking straight into the end of the jaws
the other looks like a electric coupling crimper  except the bite has a smile not straight
