    Description

    Up for bids is an antique piglet birthing tool and advertising paper describing Pettee's Pig Forceps (Princeton, Ill.) designed for use by farmers and stock raisers. The tool was to be used to insure the birth of piglets and could be used by the "farmer, farmer hand, or boy with success". The advertisement measures 10 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches. The tool measures 11 5/8 inches in length. The tool has a 1878 patent date and also has the Pettee name embossed on it. Note this listing is for the tool and advertising flyer. I am listing another flyer as a separate listing that does not included the tool if you wanted only the advertisement. See my seller's list to see the other lot.
