Mystery pliers tool
« on: September 09, 2011, 09:50:09 PM »
Bought these at auction. Very ornate, only mark is "C H S" on handle. Any ideas?

That's my impression, too.  Could we get more, and closer photos of the jaws?

One on Ebay Australia called Viper-
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORNATE-VIPER-SAW-SET-ANTIQUE-SAW-SHARPENING-TOOL-/150623385623



Id say that Viper kind of seals the deal, as to what it is! Here is a good resource for collecting old saw sets, but I did not see yours in it. Welcome to the Site!

Thanks guys, I should have guessed saw set. This was in a box of wooden marking gauges I bought.

Follow Wayne's ("Izenglish" 's) link. Look at the European Plier Saw Sets to see this one, maker unknown.
