RE Original interesting tongs by dowdstools

These tongs are from the buggy era. The ends of the tongs have been made to have a convenient "clip wrench" on the makers favorite tongs? The half twist is evidence that even a good blacksmith makes mistakes.! (He bent it the Wrong way!!) For clip wrenchs see Salaman's Dictionary pge 533 c1. For those who don't have acess to Salaman's Dict.. They were used for springing the plate over the clip (ubolt) that held the springs to the axle.
