Brass Pliers. A first for me

[Old River]

Found a pair of Brass pliers. I know they used them in explosive working conditions, but to find the at an old homesite 8 inches deep. Oh well. I also found a wheat penny, but couldn't read the date on it.

That's cool, if they don't have value just drop them in the brass pail.

Nice, my Dad had a pair in his tackle box. They last a long time...no rusting.

brass tools = spark free * if working around flammible / explosive items or say around a oil /gas well head area where explosive gases might be being "spark free" is a real good thing.

Brass tools are rare and cool!

a fast brass/copper cleanup is to get a stainless pan of vinegar (just enough to cover tool) hot on the stove, mix in some salt and drop em in...very fast and no damage...then steel wool to buff.
