Measurements

L 16.5in x H 14in

Capture a fantastic pieve of early 20th-century industrial history with these antique hand-forged iron ice tongs. Dating from the icebox era of the late 1890s to 1920s, this primitive tool features a highly desirable solid wood T-handle paired with a heavy-duty scissor-linkage mechanism engineered to provide maximum leverage when lifting heavy blocks of frozen ice.

The sweeping iron claws are blacksmith-crafted and terminate in sharp, inward-facing points designed to bite cleanly into ice without slipping. The entire piece is finished in a uniform matte black coating that accentuates its rugged, primitive lines.

This unique piece makes a spectactular rustic wall hanging for a farmhouse kitchen, a cabin mantle, a hime bar backdrop, or a great addition to a collection of early American utility hand tools.
