Summary
Blacksmith's tongs - Long handled tongs which pivot at a point just past the operating end. One handle has a ring on the end and the other fits into this ring. Possibly for pressing holes in metal. Before the two sides meet they curve out so there is a loop before the end.
Provenance
Purchased as part of Geler Jones Collection in 1994.
