Overstamped Maker's Mark

Hi there..I recently acquired these nice tongs and reckon they date to 1872...Glasgow. However the maker's mark (Muirhead and Arthur) has been over stamped by that of another maker (JM & Co.) I am curious to know what the reason for this was and also for information and/or dates for JM&Co. Thanks in advance....treefish

Hi,

Do a search for "overstamping" and you'll find a few threads on the subject.
