I think you're spot on there, thank you.Google lens suggests they may be 'glaziers pliers'?
That makes a lot of sense - I knew you'd have the answer!Personally I think they are nut pliers
For the ex-BT people they are 'Nut Runners".'Any knowledgeable folk who may know what these pliers are used for ?
There's no makers name on them, just an interesting old tool that I found in a bucket of scrap yard tools.
Anyway, just something interesting, maybe : ) thanks in advance.
I think the Vintage Tool Shop has got the description above wrong - glass pliers don't have serrated jaws. All the glaziers pliers I've ever seen have far wider jaws:

Personally I think they are nut pliers. Easier to use in confined spaces where you can't get an adjustable wrench or spanners in, such as the interior of a radio set or on a motorbike. Probably pre-date the introduction of socket sets
I therefore Googled "nut pliers" and got these vintage motorcycle nut pliers:

Serrated jaws on nut pliers make more sense to me
