Nice catch, Bill H.! I went downstairs to check my pair BEFORE I got to your post. On the string-tag I attached to mine, it says my Bernard parallel-jaw pliers were made ca. 1913-1948. Not sure why that age range (and don't remember where I found the info on the tag), but I notice that while mine has "Bernard" on BOTH handles amidst the knurling, it also says "Bernard" on the side opposite the "Schollhorn" around what on my set is a bolt with one end a slot-head screwdriver slot and the other side (I'm guessing w/o taking a driver to them) a simple rounded hollow(?) bolt end. Oh yeah, and my tag says the patent date (which I can't read on mine) refers to the method of forming the sheet metal handles. I too used to have another pair but a friend wanted them badly — offered me $20 for them, but I countered with $10 (he's a really good friend; I'd just screwed up my face when he offered to buy them). I remember needing those parallel jaws for one particular task once and don't recall the task, but that's why I originally grinched at my friend.
Oh yeah, the product listing page-link you shared…, the next tool to the right of those may be the descending/ascending-sized holes "pliers" (crimping tool, actually).
In any case, as usual I enjoyed hitchhiking along on this thread. Thanks, everyone.
