What is this tool ???----Any blacksmiths out there?

[AZmark]

Found this forged tool at a old mining site, probably abandoned in the early 1900's, near Prescott AZ. I found this in the late 70's. Mines in that area were for copper and silver with a little gold.

It is forged by a blacksmith, has a curved end that is obviously the working end, the other eye end is for hanging on the wall.

Any ideas???

Some kinda pry bar?
Or a backscratcher...

I have one like that, with a little sharper on the curled end. It is from a forged grill set, its a steak turner/flipper for the grill.

Broken set of farrier tongs would be my guess. There used for moving metal in and out of a forge.
