Antique 18th Century Wrought Iron Tool Collection circa 1700s

Remarkable collection of hand-forged wrought iron tools and implements dating to approximately the 1700s. The lot includes approximately 10-12 individual pieces: • Heavy iron chain (approx. 24-30 inches long) with large hook end and ring terminal - hand-forged links of varying size • Multiple betty/phoebe-style grease/oil lamps (at least 3-4 visible) with pointed hanging hooks and drip catchers - classic colonial-era lighting • Ornate wrought iron lamp or candle holder with decorative gear/sunflower-shaped crown and cup base - unusual folk art quality piece • Hanging balance/steelyard scale frame with wire hanger • Pair of antique hand-forged scissors/shears with loop handles • Iron tongs or nippers (small - possibly wick trimmers or sugar nippers) • Wrought iron hook/S-hook and curled scroll piece • Small wrought iron ring (heart-shaped or oval) • Spike or awl • What appears to be a small corkscrew or auger All pieces display deep dark patina, surface rust, and oxidation consistent with significant age. Evidence of hand-hammering and forge welding throughout - no machine-made uniformity. No maker's marks visible. Significant age-related surface corrosion but structurally intact. Farm/homestead collection likely from a single estate, consistent with 18th-century rural American or European domestic and agricultural use. Pickup only - items are heavy and fragile with surface corrosion.
