The sugar tongue is marked with kokoschnik looking left and cyrillic letters ? L behind the head. The maker's mark I read in cyrillic SKL also could be BKL. Better photos were not possible. Could anybody help me to identify the item.

Thank you very much AG2012. In the meantime I found out that the assayer was Ivan Lebedkin.
When was the working period of Levin? 1875-1907. Is this right?
My sugar tongs are clearly Jugendstil.

Re: Sugar tongue town? maker?
Stepan Levin's products have been dating since 1869. As for the last year, there are some doubts, but I think about 1904.

Jugendstil style tells everything about the production period; after 1900.
It is known as ``modern style`` in Russian.
