Tiny Clippers

[IHC656]

I decided to detect the 1900’s homesite that’s been abandoned since approximately 1933.
Basically next door but is loaded with poison ivy. Found these tiny clippers next the out building foundation. What would they have used a clipper this small on is my curiosity question.
Found some clock gears next to the basement of the house. Found a skeleton key here last week.

They look like they could have been used in a Blacksmiths shop. One use that comes to mind is horse hoof clippers - trimmers. Neat find.

My grandpa use to have one of these for his cigars.

Think you were right with the nail trimmers

Small for hoof trimmers, I think. Couldn't get much cutting power on tough hooves with such short handles. I have wire cutters that size and design.
