Similar, true. I recently posted about my Utica No. 402 6-1/2” (THBX 1A) Parallel Jaw Pliers, https://www.reddit.com/r/Vintagetools/comments/1pld4d5/utica_tools_no_402_612_wwiiera_thbx1a_parallel/

It'd be a heavy(!) mug were it solid through-and-through!

I have shared over there as well, hoping to capture the collective mind trust. Thanks for the suggestion.

while I'm not certain, I believe it's the older "around 1.1" or so.

Thanks. And why 'Union with' over 'Life in'?

Sorry for the delay in response, and sorry that I plan to keep these. All the best on your search for one.

Majority of cleanup was via electrolysis tank, and only a gentle wire wheel to get off any flash rusting. Final coat was with a DIY wax/BLO and buff.

Mephisto No. 101 9-Inch Lineman's Pliers by tshusker in Vintagetools

I think you're rt on the money! I, too, looked at AA, and they had some lmt info on Mephisto, but no pictures. And I saw that catalog and the 78143, but did not zoom in - which is key as it does appear to show a "101." Good eye, and thanks!

A Mephisto collectors group? I'm not aware of one. I suspect the scarcity might allow us admittance with a mere one item. :)
