Description
Wooden laundry tongs used to grip wet washing from a hot water copper or wringer washer. The tongs are two squared wooden pieces joined to a flat metal piece using two rivets on each side. The curvature and flex in the metal piece enables the tong legs to close and open (grip and release). Each wooden piece has a curved cut-away piece on the inside surface at the ends to enhance its gripping action.
