Mooney Warther did the pliers as a novelty. His true craft was a master carver of locomotives of various ages to the most infinite detail.
His museum is in Dover ; Ohio. I've been there 3 times in my 64 years . Latest was my 62nd. birthday as as surprise from daughter and wife. I got another pocket watch w/ locomotive etched on it as a gift.

Pull him up on internet and see how a man of very little education became a world renowned carver. Made his own carving tools and even made knives for kitchen use ; which is still made today.

His collection was valued as priceless and if you ever get the chance to view it you will be truly awe struck by the free- hand detail. But then I live 30 minutes away and can go whenever my soul needs a lift as to what one can do if they imagine and believe in it.
