I really like the old plier and wrench knives, Mike. Got a few myself- the old Catt ones. Thanks for sharing yours....and labeling your pics.

It was the "HHH" trademark that gave it away .. while it is listed as the most common of the US made .. they went out of production in 1915 .. patent 662,005 (some may also list 606,547) issued to Lewis of CA .. manuf by those fine folks in Jersey .. dist by many .. including Sears & Roebuck .. could be had for ~ $1 .. might command more now .. you'll find a fuller description in any of  Bernard Levine's guides.
