the iron dwarf Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 found this a while ago with several other items that I managed to identify including a mould for pistol or musket shot, scissors for trimming wicks but this tool has us beat, it is about 6" long, the blades are reasonably sharp and it closes up to about 1/8" and opens to just over 1/2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Sugar nippers for use with cone sugar; not a hard one at all (if you get asked to reproduce a lot of historical cooking tools...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackdawg Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'm going to have to google that one, it sounds intriguing! http://www.oldandinteresting.com/sugar-nippers.aspx well there you go, it was intriguing! something I never new, sugar has only ever been granulated sugar to me! Wonder why they didn't just crush it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Go to a Latin market and get a sugar cone.....then try and crush it. With those opening dimensions I was thinking for halving sugar cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I didn't know any of that, life in the good old days eh? I wonder how much a Splenda cone costs? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
