Description

Metal tongs for the purpose of removing horseshoe nails. The object has flat teeth to grip the head of the nail. The end of one of the two handles is shaped like a slot-type screw driver; at the end of the other handle is a v-shaped wedge. The object is so rusty that the jaws are frozen closed.
