Really nice pair of Silver Sugar Tongs dated 1895, they have a nicely decorated style, with clear hallmarks. The maker is JR who I believe are John Round & Son 1878-1906, Tudor Works, Tudor Street, Sheffield.

The silver sugar tongs weigh 38g and measure 4″, they are in superb condition with no repairs.

But to fuel this interest I need to maintain myself and my family, is this feasible? am I succeeding? the answer is yes, sometimes admittedly only just, especially in this harsh economic climate, so to say I’m making a living from what I’m interested in is I believe true success.

The design is clean and simple, both silver spoon and silver fork items have initials, I think they are FPW or PFW.
