old hemostats and clamps

This group is all old enough to be well past their likely original duty serving in a medical or laboratory environment of some sort, but that certainly doesn't change the fact that they remain perfectly capable of helping somebody's fingers hold onto any of a myriad of 'small things', for just as many typical reasons or purposes one might wish to do that. Nowadays most for professional usage are probably made of surgical stainless steel while many of lesser quality are commonly available cheaply for hobby use. Of any variety, they indeed are handy things to have one or two of hanging around in your toolbox, at least?! :-) :-) :-)

These all appear to be of high quality, though old enough to also *not* be of stainless steel, since they all have rather obvious 'stains' and spots of wear and corrosion suggesting they are made of another metal originally plated. (looks like nickel?) They have different styles of clamps, hinges and catches, one pair readily comes apart into two pieces, one has an open handle design, all have assorted stamps and markings some of which are difficult to make out now.
