Kiki's 2nd Annual Tea Party -tonight!

We collect antiques. On the left are two buggy steps, middle is a cast iron iron that will match our antique laundry stove we have. And on the right are cast iron tongs, not really sure what they were used for. If anyone has any ideas, that would be awesome!

Probably in laundry...hot water, you know.
They're beautiful.

I have no clue but my first guess would be to move logs on a fire.

I'm going to go have a meeting with Google real quick.

Thanks!

Coal tongs!

I've thought of that too but they seem too fancy. It would be cool though! I asked the person we bought them from, but they didn't know
