I’m offering three silver sugar tongs, they are all in good condition with no repairs, the description of each is as follows:

The first is assayed in Sheffield 1896 and made by James Dixon & Sons, they are nicely decorated with the initials EMM on the curve end. The bowls also interestingly have the dates 1897 and 1911 inscribed, they measure 10.5cm and weigh 21 grams.

The second silver tongs are assayed again in Sheffield 1924 and made by John Butt, one arm is slightly mishappened. It has no repairs and is decorated down each arm, it measures 10.5cm and weighs 20 grams.

The third and smallest was assayed in Sheffield 1902 and made by Fattorini of Bradford, they are in excellent condition, measure 8cm and weigh 14 grams.
