Double hog ringer?
« on: January 20, 2013, 11:38:12 AM »
Early hog ring pliers, I guess. I just never saw a double ended one. No makers mark only marked Pat D April 21 1880. Two different size openings. Why no makers mark?

Boy, I don't know how you'd line up two hogs at the same time.

likely two different size rings that it works with - not all hog rings are the same

I need to get a pair of those since I do some upholstery now and again
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

The rings are also useful for fixing fencing net to the support wires....
