Curious about the marks on this particular piece of plate, and what it was used for. Hopefully the links below work but if they don't, post on here that fact and I'll see what I can do about uploading them some other way.

Okay Trev, I will try that but first I have to get to a laptop.. I did this off my phone and for some reason flicker doesn't offer the BB code by way of Android. Go figure.

That's an Elkington mark (EM&Co is Elkington, Mason & Co) with their private date code (6 in a lozenge, or perhaps a lazy 6 in a square) for 1846. They are asparagus tongs (I think).
