A pair of ash weeding clips, or thistle-pullers, of a form largely associated with County Antrim.
 
This particular example has achieved a warm nutty colour. The ribbed jaws, similarly, have gained a tactile, attractive patina.
 
Such workaday tools are now seldom seen outside of museum collections.
 
Original surface with scant flight holes and minor paint splodges present. Nut and washer historically replaced.
