You are bidding on ONE Uncommon Small Hand Forged Pipe Coal Fireplace Tongs. Measuring 13 5/8" long and it weighs 9 oz unboxed. Good shape, about the only note is t is a small crack showing under the rivet on the one side but it's been t a long time and it ain't gonna fall apart anytime soon. The joint is good, little bit of play but nothing out of the ordinary. These were cleaned by someone else but they did a good job of it. Used of course, for picking up a piece of hot coal to light your pipe with. Very very uncommon to see one of these in this size. Not a reproduction by any stretch, this is the real deal. You can see the graining in the wrought iron. New England in origin. This is a superb addition to any early fireplace collection! And remember..the more ya buy, the cheaper dey fly!

The somewhat NOT SO FINE Print BIG CHANGES 05/0 6/08 Priority Mail items less than $50 are sent at actual shipping & with Delivery Confirmation plus a small charge for packing. For items under $50, insurance is optional, for items over $50 insurance is mandatory. Smaller items are sent via 1st class mail with Delivery Confirmation at a flat rate which includes the cost of the padded mailer which I do NOT get for free (and they get more expensive as they get bigger in size so that is factored in as well) and the extra packing time. For 1st class, items under $50, insurance is optional, for items over $50 insurance is mandatory. The only exception for both Priority and First Class are items that I feel are fragile enough that warrant insurance. I only ship via the Post Office. I do not ship UPS or Fedex.
