French Sugar Tongs~Assistance with this makers mark please
Posted: Sun May 20, 2012 10:15 am
Can anyone assist with the makers mark on these pair of Sugar Tongs which I have taken from a much bigger set.
The marks are very small so have had to take through a jewellers loupe , I think there descent enough to make out.
Minerva 950 finese mark as well as this NV mark with * mark above and below... Could also be AV mark if viewed the other way?
Looking for maker and from that a probable age. I would guess probably late 19th century?
