    This is my first time posting. Please bare with me. I found this at an estate sale. It was neat, and intrigued me. Just trying to figure out what kind of tool it is. What is it called? It is approx. 24" in length, when closed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      reminds me of ice block tongs, though clearly more complicated: https://www.google.com/search?q=antique+ice+block+tools&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjSz5izmpzaAhXIzFQKHW2MApgQ_AUICygC&biw=1744&bih=1242
