A pair of vintage metal hand tools. The larger tool, likely a crimping or clinching device, is constructed from steel or iron with wooden handle grips. It is visibly stamped ‘G W NEALL’ on one arm and bears a yellow inventory sticker with the number ‘1523’ on the opposing arm, with an additional ‘NAS’ marking visible near the riveted head. The smaller tool is a robust pair of dark metal pliers or nippers, possibly forged steel or cast iron, featuring a simple pivot mechanism and broad jaws. Both tools suggest a utilitarian style from an earlier period.
