What is this?

[Jstpssng]

My father just gave me a chest filled with tools, which belonged to a carpentar down in Brooklyn, back in the 1940's.
Along with the typical carpentry tools were several items which I believe are farrier tools.
I've enclosed pictures of some of them for your viewing pleasure.

Sorry, I tried.

I,ll try again when I'm on my computer.

Looks like an eraser to me.

Been a long, long time but they don't look like my dad's the farrier tools. None of them had any serrated gripping edges. The knife like tool in the first pic could be used to trimp, pick at a horses hooves but all the ones I saw were 'hooked'. I have 2 or 3 of the end nippers, don't recall now from where, probably out of my dad's shop. Used them in fencing and the like jobs.

Need the grippers for making/forming the shoes they get pretty hot. The Farrier Clincher also has serrated jaws.

Nail and staple pullers and some old pliers, not sure if they are specific to horseshoe work or not.

I have most of them as well, including that little vise/clamp with the wing nut.
Not sure what that was designed for???

This is a website that I think is educational in regards to farrier tools-past and present. Perhaps you TBN members out there that have horses might enjoy the site. A World of Tools in One Museum

1st photo upper left is a pair of Gas pliers
Bottom left looks like a artists modeling tool
Bottom right is a hand vise

2nd photo looks like wore out nippers or possibly blacksmith tools

Have fun--J

Bottom left is a worn out wood turning too. It used to be longer, and has been sharpened almost to nothing. The bull nose nippers are useful for nipping the head off a nail that you can't pull, like a ring shank with a neoprene washer. 40 years ago we used them to pull sheet metal off of a pole barn without screwing up the metal too much. There's also what looks like some sort of crimping tool, and a couple pliers designed for turning nuts without bothering to find the right sized wrench.

My dad left me a pair of really long handled hoof nippers, he never had a horse, nor do I, but I have never found a tool better suited to removing fence staples than a pair of those nippers. Although I have a pair of fencing pliers, the leverage those provide is not very good.

I would tend to agree. The left hand tool in the right photo may be a crimper for a c clip, just a guess.
