Item Description
Before matches were commonplace, pipe smokers often used pipe tongs to harvest hot coals from a fireplace to light thier pipes. Many also had a tamper and pick for packing and cleaning the pipe. This piece was created by OSV Blacksmith, Ethan Choiniere. They are forged out of reclaimed wrought iron with a steel spring and finished by hand with files and treadle wheel.
