That's pretty compelling Bill, now the next step in verification? Perhaps contact the pros via email with this topic link in it, and ask them for their opinion? We always get a ton of great ideas with these MWTCA projects, but you guys never go the next step, verification! :D

Those tools were used for glass removal and installation back when windows were held in with rubber gaskets.  I used similar tools myself replacing windows in heavy equipment but back then we didn't take many pictures.  The tools have taken on a high polish from being dragged through the rubber seal.  They came along with stronger thinner tools and these were obsolete.

Eventually a lock bead gasket came out which made more room and the glass was easier to get in place and this tool came out to insert the bead.  Dish soap was used as a lubricant.

Still drives me nuts folks want help to identify something but unwilling to give more than one picture.<_<

You would think he might have separated the two, placed them side by side, used some type of scale to indicate dimensions...

Seems they want to know as long as they don't have to put forth any effort and that 1/1,000,000,000 shot somebody is still using a set of these.

Bottom tool has "US????" on handle...maybe nothing more than USA...who knows what markings if any upper tool may have. Guess we'll never know...

End of...
