Antique vintage Czech Bohemian original baguette rhinestone hand press molding pliers. Dating from the turn of the century these are traditional rhinestone making pliers, used in the times prior to full mechanisation. The actual making of rhinestones at this time, on the whole, remained a cottage industry, in that the pliers and attached molds were bought and used by individuals or families who would work from home to supply the companies that would trade the beads. Each house would have a furnace in which glass rods were heated before the rhinestones were individually pressed before being polished by hand.
These are set for pressing 16mm x 2mm baguette stones. Stamped with the owners initials of "K.W". These are still in working condition, having been used in the latter part of the last century. The surface metal does have some pitting which is to be expected and years of untouched patina.
A nice collectible part of Czech Bohemian glass making history.
