Rover8FFR Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Gobsmacked I haven't had any response on this one from the Brothers Collective! Surely this hasn't stumped the experts????? :wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I can't read the date with any certainty Wayne & what is the length? A lot of hand tools like this length is an important part of the designation. Can you confirm that the square hole doesn't have a cutting edge one side? If it is straight through what are the dimensions of the hole? Are there any other associated tools? It isn't necessarily WD, the pheon is a Government property mark for "attractive" items ie likely to get pinched. I'm not suggesting these were of course.

David Herbert Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 As has been said, these could, for example be GPO (telephones), not just WD. I would sugest that they are designed to take interchangeable crimping jaws, as well as being general pliers, for electricians or telephone engineers.

Rover8FFR Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks Guys I will do some more homework. No sharp cutting edge at all Clive. Update to follow. Chap who owned them was previously a builder so no idea how or where he acquired them :undecided: I thought the stamp said 'Brindley 1008'????

fv1609 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I thought the stamp said 'Brindley 1008'???? I wasn't sure if I was reading 1908, which would have been a big turn on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
