Hi all, we were doing some environmental studies in Malalag Bay last month and our boat driver had a pair of pliers salvaged from the Catalina. Thought it might be of some interest to someone... photos attached. From what I can read on the side and some quick googling, the tools appears to be a Utica 41-6 Diagonal Cutting Plier "marked "Utica Drop Forge & Tool Co." and "Utica, N.Y. U.S.A.", with "Alloy Steel" across the pivot"
