Pans and tools?
« on: October 20, 2005, 06:17:51 PM »
Hello,
Hopefully you can help me on what these are and what they were used for.
 I am also curious as to a value on the Schofield cake griddle as this was part of a lot we purchased and I am trying to figure out if we did good or not. I does have quite a bit of pitting on the bottom. I am still trying to get the other pieces cleaned.

Thanks,
Sharon Talor

I'll take the easy one.  The hammer on the right in your first picture is an arc welder's slag chipping hammer.  They lay down the bead of metal, then chip the flux coating off.  You can buy them new just like this one for around $10 or less.

The set of tongs on the left is a fairly common type used to move coals around in a fireplace and sometimes used by blacksmiths for handling hot items.  A lot depends, but this would not normally be more than $10 to $15.  These type tongs are useful to camp oven meisters so there is a small market.

I answered this last night but my post disappeared so here goes again.  First pic; coal (lump coal) tongs, carpet stretcher(?), agree with Tom N. on the hammer.  
PHoto two; Schofields cake griddle or flop griddle.  Not rare but you don't see them all over the place.  If nice condition with original flipping handle they can go $50 and somewhere's upward a bit.
Photo three;  small broiler(?) and a tool used to blank off the end of a coal magazine in a coal stove (heating stove) when loading the coal.  After the magazine is refilled the tool is pulled out allowing the coal to filter down into the stove.  The identity of that piece was a mystery until last year when the patent information for it came to light.  I don't know values on the different pieces.  If you want to sell the little broiler or whatever it is I'd be interested.

Hello Steve,
Not sure on the broiler as it is the only one we have so far but I am still going thru boxes of iron we purchased and  still trying to get them cleaned and identified. I do know we will be looking to trade some pieces in the near future. So far I have a extra #28 P/N 639 Whole wheat stick pan, #1270 puritan P/N 1513 and a #262 P/N 625 Corn or wheat stick pan.  If you are interested let me know.
Thanks
Sharon

Sharon,
Not sure about it being a carpet stretcher but looks like it could be.  Used to stretch carpet tightly up to the tack strips around the perimeter of a room.  But it looks pretty light duty and not something a professional carpet layer would use.  So, I really don't know for sure.
