Part 3/7:
This piece resembles an ancient or experimental artifact, potentially altered deliberately or through exposure to heat or stress. The collector mentions a similar experience with radio gear, suggesting that these metal forms might have been part of electronic or mechanical components that experienced deformation over time or under specific conditions.
Vintage Hardware – Vice Grips in Distress
The collection includes pairs of vice grips—a type of plier used for gripping and holding objects tightly. Several photographs show these tools in various states of distortion and damage.
