I have a pair of "plyers" used by my Dad who worked at a Chevy Dealership for over 50 years and no one locally can identify them. The Numbers and letters are J-35984 KMO-USA. I will attempt to enter an image. Can you identify them? Can't get the picture to load, sorry.

I am guessing that the manufacturer is Kent-Moore as the letter and numbers are typical of the part numbers they used to identify their products.

Ah, yes...Vintage Pliers...Made by the Kent-Moore Organization...In the '30's and '40's...
Sorry about that picture posting problem...Photo's must be imported from a photo hosting site...
Thanks for trying, though.

J-35984 is a newer Kent Moore Tool than October of 1962. I have numerous Kent moore books before that date and it doesn't show up in any of them. The Kent Moore "J" numbers in October 1962 only go up to J-21,000

I used to collect "vintage" mechanic's hand tools years ago...Don't recall collecting any Kent-Moorse...Many Williams and Armstrong and Proto wrench's in the collection...Flea Markets was where I'd find them...Way before the days of Ebay...
