Description
These antique hand-forged hay bale or ice tongs, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases rustic charm. Crafted from robust iron, the tongs feature large, curved hooks designed for gripping substantial loads. The simple yet effective lever mechanisms are still functional, reflecting the utilitarian design of the period. These three items exhibit a well-preserved, naturally rusted patina, consistent with its age and outdoor use, adding to its authentic, primitive aesthetic. These would make excellent decorative pieces for a rustic or industrial-themed interior, or a functional tool for a collector of antique farm implements. Each weighs between 2 to 5 pounds.
