Fancy ANTIQUE CAST IRON Fireplace HEARTH Coal TONGS - GREAT Looking MANTLE Tool
I'd say early 1900s or there-abouts, the tong portion looks hand tooled to me.
Nice fancy looking design work on the both sides of the handle.
Cast iron, both tongs and handle are magnetic.
This set measures about 22-1/4 inches long, about in height, about 3 inches across in the closed position, tongs open to 4-1/2 inches at the business end.
They are in good to very good condition with little surface rust, there is no damage, cracks, or breaks in the metal and will clean up very nice.
Item is in as found condition and has not been cleaned or restored in any way.
