Here's a fairly crude looking pair of pliers made by a company BLL. They look similar to what are being called W T & Co 1917 6" Nut Pliers, Battery Nut Pliers on ebay
Neither company name or the Star of David logo shows up online (in context), though there is a BBL spoke-rolling machine for sale in Australia. No idea if the two are connected.
The spoke rolling mach9ine or thread-cutting is an ad in Australia. I'd like to know more about it!. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/athelstone/hand-tools/vintage-bbl-spoke-thread-rolling-tool/1325892331
Spoke threads are rolled so that the nipple can ride past the end of the thread (thread OD larger than spoke OD). No material removed. Doesn't seem to be the case for that contraption...

I would like to know more about the spoke-rolling machine, please.
It looks like it threads the end of the spoke,after you cut it to size,
Oh yeah. Thanks.

The pliers look like they could be used for glass or tile.
