monty Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 found these in an antique shop, any ideas what they are?http://s1105.photobu...h350/roglet123/ Quote
CurlyGeorge Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 At first I thought that they were a pair of hoof nippers. But with a better look, now I'm not so sure. Never seen a set quite like that before. :unsure: Quote
RLD Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 These are the prerunner of the hoof nipper. They are called a hoof parrer. Quote
Drewed Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 If they are in an antique shop, then they are a ... rip off! lol Quote
Marksnagel Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 We had one similar to those when I was growing up. We used it as a nail puller. I was in Tractor Supply this morning and saw new ones in the horse/farrier section. Mark<>< Quote
macbruce Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I'm not into horses so I use em for tongs.......... Quote
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Bruce! You can't do that! It just ain't right, I mean it's too easy. Looks like it makes a great tong though. But, but........... Quote

They do make rock solid tongs, the hinge is bombproof .........don't tell anyone but I've never made a pair of those things after almost 40 yrs in the trade........................I gotta be me....:lol: Quote
Drewed Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Wow, 6p? That is pretty cheap. The antique shops by me would have them priced at $50 us! Quote
