CurlyGeorge Posted April 16, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLD Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 These are the prerunner of the hoof nipper. They are called a hoof parrer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksnagel Posted April 16, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted April 17, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewed Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Wow, 6p? That is pretty cheap. The antique shops by me would have them priced at $50 us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
