Jay-T, just looked back thru the pictures you've posted and again, I'm in awe of your talent. Wish we lived closer ... I love to go to one of those fairs and see your work (not to mention meeting you in person).

I have one of his 'feathers' and can attest to the craftsmanship. "Craftsmanship" hell! He's an artist in every way.

This seems to be the best place to ask this....
Daughter and I went to a Flea Market today. Lots of antiques, besides me I mean.
At one table there were a lot of what the man said were 18th century tools.
There was one interesting one that was held and opened/closed by scissor type handles. At the opposite end instead of the scissor blades were half balls. When closed the half balls would form a complete solid ball.
The man had no idea what they were for. He said some one had thought they were used by vets to hold a cows tongue so it could be given medication.
I'm hoping someone might identify what they are.

OK, look at this picture......
This is NOT what I saw but similar.....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-SIL...R-/151321554614
The pc is of a melon baller. The tool I saw was older and not aluminum.
The main difference is that the half balls are not scoped out like these are but they are filled in solid.
Any idea what it is used for?

No, each half of the ball is filled in solid. Its like they took a solid ball and cut it in half and attached each half to the end things.

If it was about a foot long they are commercial salad tongs from around 1940's . My wife bought some for me thinking they were for blacksmithing. they also made some with fork ends on it

They were maybe 6" to 8" long. The half-ball-thingys when together were about an inch in diameter. It was made of iron and quite heavy for its size.
Don't think you'd get much salad using them.
Thanks jay-t

I get the feeling that there may be a heating aspect to these.

Darn, I thought this was one of those things TB might use to grab the "SCOTUS" hanging down from some poor guy.
