Wonderful One-of-a-Kind Antique Primitive Hand Forged Hearth Fireplace Tongs. From what I have read, these were used for moving embers in a fire, and for holding embers to light a tobacco pipe. Approx. 14.375\" long. I love the handles, and the simple zig-zag decoration. Pitting, burnished rust, & other wear consistent with age/use. I l I think they look better \"in person\"!18TH c PIPE EMBER TONGS RATTAIL HANDLES PENNY ENDS EARLY HAND FORGED IRON AAFA A wonderful 18th/early 19th c hand forged iron embers or pipe tongs used to pick up embers from the fireplace to light the tobacco in the long clay pipes.

Great old piece of early iron
