What is it? Set 314
1799 -- Tongs for holding something hot--maybe laboratory glassware? 1800 -- Roofers tool, maybe for working with metal roofing (forming various crimps, cuts, etc.)? Now to see other people's guesses... -- Andrew Erickson dang, i shoulda guessed "can opener". after the person said "cigar cutter" i was like "oh". 1799. i think the tongs are for grasping a hot coal to light a tobacco pipe, oldy time like. b.w. like this... http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedi...ass-pipe-tongs |
