Sugar Tongs

Some time ago I (or someone else) bought a pair of silver sugar tongs from a local antique shop. I looked with my spy-glass at the marks and I said they were not English.

There is a fleu de lis on it which makes me think French. But the image of the Viking Longship next to it makes me think possible Scandinavian.

Hi,

They are silver plated I'm afraid.

I am sorry to hear that. But at least I know more than I did this morning so all is not lost.


Thanks so much Trev.
