Sugar tongs with marks into the bowl. I see the sterling mark, but unable to make out the possible makers mark.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Off the top of my head, I cannot recall the timeline of bowl marking in tongs, but when I saw the mark I thought of Henry Day.
See:
viewtopic.php?f=38&t=36614&p=97902&hilit=Day#p97902 and the two posts below it.
Trev.

Certainly bears a resemblance, many thanks.
The style of the tongs seems earlier than the dates that Day worked, which threw me off.
Thanks again
