Two large assay crucible tongs for the furnace room. These two choice pieces were probably used in one of Nevada's many important producing mines. Both approximately 56 inches tall. One is a slightly smaller tong set up for a 100 to 500 ounce crucible and the second one is a larger set of tongs which may have been operated by two people or operated using a fulcrum, as it grabbed the larger crucibles that are usually 500 ounce plus. Both appear early circa 1900 to 1930. Rare to find these. City: State: Date: c1900-1930 HWAC# 61158
