Description

I have searched online, extensively, trying to compare a set of wooden fireplace tools I own. I have come up with absolutely nothing, making me believe that these tools are rare and, hopefully, valuable. Not many items made from wood are used around fireplaces, yet our family used them and they are quite functional. My father bought them from a small antique store in a small town in Iowa forty-some years ago for $250. Not sure of the exact weight, as they are in my car trunk right now, but I am guessing they between 40 and 50 lbs.
