    Hello everyone,
    This rusty "plier" (+/- 9") like tool was found at the last home of Charles Deering, from the McCormick-Deering farming equipment of INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER. I took a wild guess at it being a pruner...even though my first thought was a broken vise grip.

    There was a carriage house used for maintenance of the estate. Little equip remains but we have several tools/machines originally used in the train industry. Some forging tool/machines I know of at least one lawn mower (pulled not motorized) from IH existed here.

    Glad I found this site!
